Engaging Coaches Who Get T’d

[SC Official]

What are your thoughts on when you whack a coach and the partner who replaces you proceeds to have a conversation with that coach during the free throws? Seems to be a habit of some of my partners recently and wondering if I’m the only one who gets irked when I see it happen.

As long as they've issued T #2, I'm fine with it.

Depends on what the partner says. Sometimes the job is to calm th coach down and that can be done withou throwing the partner under the bus.

But is it really our job to calm the coach down?

Problem is, regardless of what the partner says while he's standing right next to the coach, the perception is that he's playing good cop/bad cop.

Perception to who?

Partners. The last thing I want to see my partner doing is having a chummy conversation with a coach who I just stuck.

In addition to the fact that it’s generally taught at camps to leave the coach alone other than to remind him he’s lost the box.

Only if you choose for it to be your perception. I've never once paid attention to what my partners say to a coach after I issue a T. Only care that coach gets seatbelted if HS game.

What's wrong with good/bad cop? Manage the game. That includes dealing with coaches.

It is our job to manage the game, so, in a way, calming the coach is part of our job. If they're laughing and knee slapping, I may wonder what it is up, but beyond that, let your partner manage as they see fit.

I am not there to calm down any coach. My job is to enforce the rules and inform them what is next. If they choose to continue then that is on them if further action is taken. In many cases that might mean I will completely ignore them. If they do not know what the rules are or if they cannot comply then they will have to answer to someone higher than them as to why they do not know the rules or could not control their behavior enough to stay in the game.

In my opinion, it really depends on the situation. I think the coach looks like a real dumb ass if he was making a scene when you hit him with the T then tries to buddy up to your partner during free throws.
