Coaches Behavior

[so cal lurker]

It's always tough to tell from small samples (watching my son's games), but it seems to me the bar for Ts has been pretty high. I don't think I've seen a coach Td up this year. I've seen a couple of warnings--one seemed a bit soft and one I wouldn't hve been surprised going straight to a T. I've watched rantings that I was shocked weren't Td up. Star player called for a foul (on the other team, so I'm biased, but seemd like a pretty vanilla call to me), and the coach is screaming at half court, then at the baseline while the bonus FT is being taken, then back at half court. Still screaming during the second FT. No T, no warning. So of course he is going to continue.

All my warnings were soft, purposely so. I can now FORMALLY address unwanted conduct/behavior before it rises to the level of a T. There are some coaches to whom I can talk, but there are others with whom I can't because it becomes negative. I can replace those negative interactions with warnings.
