Today I was at a funeral with 5 officials and 4 or 5 coaches. Last Saturday I was at a local pub with a bunch of officials and coaches. This particular coach has been one of my good friends since I was young. I am doing his game tonight everyone knows I'm his friend and everyone knows I'm impartial as well. I think that line of officials stay away from coaches is a bad line. Anyways, I told him PC all day.


No no. Don't take me wrong. More so they forbid issues like this. Coaches/officials interacting about games and officiating issues. Not so much of being friends with someone off the floor, though it's probably best to limit that stuff as much as possible. Basketball fans are so nuts, I don't want to give any air of impropriety.

Oh yeah that makes sense. He will hit me up with a rules question here and there. I provide the answer. I think it does good. Like in this sense I showed him responses and he gets it now.

How does everyone know you are impartial?

Are there officials in your association who are known to be partial?

What if you had thought the officials missed the call?

I'm surprised coach didn't say something about the defender being under the basket. :cool:

I assign as well as officiate.

If a coach in my conference asks me to look at video, he gets the truth as I see it. 80% of the time, he doesn't like my answer. If I didn't answer honestly the 20% of the time the coach was right, I have no credibility.

I think your position as an assigner probably gives you the responsibility to provide that sort of feedback. Other officials may be comfortable doing so for friends and close colleagues, even if they're not in positions of authority. I'd be very hesitant to even comment that the officials were right for the very reason you mention, and it's the reason I asked the question.

If you're going to say when you think the officials were right, you have to be willing to say you think the officials missed it.

Charge/Player Control Foul. Be careful with the questions that you ask. Use proper terminology. Being "set" has nothing to do with block/charge call. Needs to have LGP and the defender appeared to have that.

PC and not just saying it because the coach didn't think so :D!

I certainly don't see a flop.
