Coaching Box - Deaf Player's Interpreter Told No

BillyMac · #1 (**permalink**) Fri Mar 01, 2019, 01:33pm

We've got a deaf official on our local board. Whenever we work a game together, during the pregame coach/captain/officials conference I always tell the coaches that if they have problem to yell at my partner and he always follows my comment with a smile and a thumbs up sign. Always gets a laugh, we should take our show on the road (wait, we do).

I too work with a deaf official on some of our weekend youth stuff...I told him he is lucky he can't hear the BS from the parents.
