If a coach grabs or pushes me, that is a flagrant technical foul. He can make his point without putting hands on me.

We probably all have to truly experience what happened to you in order to give a good response. My takeaway is that we should not be within grabbing distance. perhaps that helps ever getting into this type of situation.

Definitely agree with this.

Is it an idiom?

re: the grabbing. Warning if not an immediate T (Had to be there situation - grab and latch, grandpa "woah there sonny", hand on arm "hey what about") Can't put hands on officials but context here may make the difference between a warning to avoid it happening again or an immediate T.

re: taking it personally. The problem here is again context. 'Taking it personally' can mean that you are taking something as a personal afront but it is also an idiomatic expression (merriam-webster if you don't believe me) that can mean generally upset or offended by something. He could simply be questioning why it upsets or bothers you , particularly if his behavior has been allowed in other games by other officials.

Regarldess using the if it walks like a duck, talks like . . . theory. T him the duck up.

I once T'd a Coach for putting his arm around my shoulders. To the fans it just looked like he was being a nice guy, but he wouldn't let go when I told him to take his hands off of me...so he got whacked. Of course, he was being a complete a-hole with what he was saying, so he truly deserved it.

I think your possible response of staring at his hand and telling him to let go is what I would do first. The T would come quickly if he didn't let go.

As far as the "taking it personally" comment, my standard response was always "If I come to a parent conference and start screaming at you, you wouldn't take it personally? Really?"

At the break at the end of the first quarter he motions me over and my partner comes with me.

He asks me what is wrong. Coach we are not going to have you scream at us when you want foul calls to be made. If you want us to watch for something let us know when we are nearby.

He responds why are you taking this personally?

What I should have done was ask why do you think I am taking this personally.

I just decided to start to back away. He grabs my arm to keep me in this 3 man huddle....

My question is...

Is this nothing and I stare at my arm and say coach let go of me?
Do I take my arm away and give a behavior warning?
Do I move away and give him a technical foul or worse?

Never had a coach grab me like this in 6k games and so he caught me off guard.

Love this forum and wanted to ask for some advice and opinions on what you do.

I believe I said you are not going to talk to us like that and moved away.

Again thanks in advance you guys have helped my career a ton here.

Putting hands on an official is a step too far, though, regardless of the context. You already told him why you gave the warning and tried to back away. He then chose to reach out and put hands on you.

1) This is definitely a DTF.

2) As to whether or not this is a FTF or not would be a matter of how the Game Official perceived how physical the HC was with him.

3) From reading how Big T described it I would be leaning toward a FTF on the ACS Theory.


Amazingly, in my entire career I have had only three HCs make unwanted physical contact with me. 1) A YBOA Boys' National Championship Tournament; 2) An AAU Boys' Invitational; 3) A NAIA Women's regular season game. Items (1) and (2) were played under NFHS Rules and resulted in Disqualification and Ejection based upon the severity of the contact. Item (3) was played under NCAA Women's Rules and was just a TF based upon the situation under which the contact occurred; there is more to this story but that is for another time.
