NCAAW Baylor/Oregon State: Kim Mulkey behavior

[Rich]

I'll never understand why officials feel the need to "go to the table" after clearly and unambiguously whacking a head coach.

Agreed. So do you disagree with Bacon going to the table in this particular instance?

He only went there to report the technical foul he assessed and of course Mulkey is going to address him and whatnot while he's there doing it. . .

Right after he got done reporting, he went back opposite and then Mulkey went down to the baseline to blast on Mattingly about what she felt was illegal body contact, when she got zero response, then she went in Fountain's ear, but the main thing that diffused all of it was that play resumed.

I think Rich's point was that it's not even necessary to go to the table to report the T on the coach when it's blatantly obvious who you're whacking, as in this instance. I know I've called a T on a coach from opposite the table, and I just stay there and show the scorer the "T" signal followed by pointing to the coach.
