Musical Chairs ...
 

Same thing here in Connecticut. Back in the 1980's, when I started officiating, teachers here in Connecticut were not very well paid. Many teachers would teach summer school, teach driver's education, paint houses, or coach one, or more, sports, to earn some extra money to support their families. I was teaching back then, and I coached basketball, officiated basketball, worked summer basketball camps, and was a bartender at a golf course. Coaching was a great gig, and coaches would often hang around for dozens of years.

Now, teachers are much better paid than in the past. The supplemental money that comes from coaching isn't as important as it used to be. New coaches appear, coach for a few years, realize that they really don't need the money in exchange for the time commitment, and the grief from parents, athletic directors, principals, etc., and resign. The most common reason cited for leaving the coaching profession is that coaches want to watch their kids grow up, and want to watch their kids play town, middle school, and high school sports.

It's like a coaching revolving door around here. Until I walk into a gymnasium, I'm never 100% sure who the coach will be.

They just added to the two hand foul reporting today.

Now if people would just stop pointing at the bench when reporting the color....(where did that come from anyway?)

That is Lacrosse and probably other sports. The problem is the table people havent replaced their hearing aids in 20 years and miss the color so that pointing helps the right team get the foul...

Literally physically impossible for me (and most coaches I know). No way can I sit the entire time. Too many frustrating things that go on out there with my players...to expect a coach to just sit and not get up to communicate with players is ridiculous.

Yep.

I want to get rid of the seatbelt rule after a technical foul.

Agreed. Never made sense to me to tell an already agitated Coach to sit down and stay there.

Why Pile On ???
 

Agree, and agree again. Two fee throw for the opponents, the possibility of losing the ball to the opponent, and the possibility of an ejection if another technical foul is charged, are punishment enough.

I don't believe college coaches get the seatbelt. Right?

Right.

This Horse Won't Die Anytime Soon, I Guess
 

Seems as though the NFHS came out with somewhat of a revision to its "Two-Handed Reporting" protocol yesterday. The second to last stipification seems a little odd, but nothing that can't be sorted out in real life.

Two-hand Foul Reporting
By NFHS on June 07, 2017

TWO-HAND FOUL REPORTING
(Rule 2-9-1 Signals)

The Official will move to the designated reporting area on the floor.

Make sure that you have the attention of the scorer prior to giving the numbers.

Indicate the color of the jersey for the player who fouled.

The Official shall report fouls to the scorer by using two hands to display the jersey number of the person who committed the foul.

The official’s right hand will indicate the first digit of the number or the tens and the left hand will indicate the second digit of the number or the ones.

The official shall extend the arms shoulder high towards the table to display the numbers.

The digits of the number should be displayed at the same time.

When reporting, the official shall verbalize the number as twenty-four not two-four.

The scorer will view the number in a left-to-right sequence.

Indicate the type of foul using the proper signal.

If one, two or three free throws are to be attempted, indicate the number of free throws by using one hand.

If the team is in the bonus for the seventh, eight of ninth foul, indicate the bonus situation raising both hands and display a raised index finger on each hand.

If the foul is a team control foul, after the official signals the specific type of foul, the official will turn and signal such with an extended arm, closed fist parallel to the table and side line, indicating no free throws will be attempted.

After reporting and if no free throws are to be attempted, the official will turn from the table and indicate the throw-in spot to resume play.

What was the revision? Sounds like this is the same things we were asked to do without two hands being used?

Peace
