Kosher ...

I actually suggested that it wasn't kosher before Raymond's reply, my followup kosher was related to my original kosher. Quote:

Like this the best. Doesn't involve digging into the huddle. Gives and early notification to an adult (for strategy purposes). Gives the, by rule, notification to the head coach.

It's not rocket science. I don't need to turn the process into a something that needs a dissertation to explain it. The problem with your original post is that you limited the answers as if there are no other common sense ways to do it.

Trumps ...
Quote:
Officials getting together to discuss their roles in the final seconds of the game, or an official having short chat with the table crew to make sure that everything is copacetic on their end, or officials moving back to original positions, should not trump notifying the head coach.

I may not be the greatest referee, but I make a concerted effort to be a great partner, and it's a reputation I pride myself in.

Please Don't Ask About My Conditioning Rating ...
Quote:
One fifth of our Arbiter anonymous partner rating is teamwork (the ability to work effectively as a team with his fellow official, accepts criticism, shares the responsibility and avoids attempts to shift the blame, etc.). It's always my highest rating (by far) of the five parameters (appearance and conditioning, mechanics, team work, judgement, and game management) that are peer rated. I like to think of myself as a good partner, and thank God, my anonymous partner ratings (many with "good partner" comments) back me up. Now if I could just get rid of my bum ankle and my bum knee ...

Again, this is silly. Tell the coach however it works for you. Where I work assistants are usually very informed about these kinds of things. But not stopping a coach in mid-sentence to tell him something his assistant already knew in the first place. This is not that hard Billy. Really, really easy.
Peace

Silly ...
It's only silly until in the final seconds of a heated game, due to partners confusing notification responsibilities (maybe too busy after getting together to discuss their floor roles in the final seconds, or having a chat with the table crew, or moving back to original positions); or due to a distracted assistant coach not communicating with his head coach properly; followed by a head coach requesting and being granted an excessive timeout that costs him the game, and blaming it on the officials based on his rulebook knowledge of notification responsibilities ("I was never notified"); that it no longer can be considered silly.
Do almost all head coaches already know before "official" notification that they have used all their allotted timeouts? Sure, and it's on a lot of scoreboards. Can officials be almost certain that assistant coaches, once notified, will be responsible and followup and notify the head coach? Sure. Does almost mean 100%? No. How often will a screw-up in notification by an official (not done by the book), or a distracted assistant coach, lead to a disastrous ending to a game? Seldom, if ever, but I don't what to be in that once in a million (maybe a brazilian (old joke)) disastrous game. Put in simpler terms ... Quote:
Final seconds of a heated game? Take your time. When the ball is dead we must be alive. Cross all the T's, dot all the I's, and safely get out of Dodge (sorry about the mixed metaphor). JRutledge absolutely doesn't need this advice, his experience, outstanding reputation and resume speaks for itself, but young'uns making their way up the ladder should heed my advice. To paraphrase a former president: JRutledge could blow a big call in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he would still be an outstanding official. How many state finals has JRutledge worked? Several. How many state finals has BillyMac worked? None. State tournament games? Also none. Just an experienced, reliable, competent, skilled, qualified, journeyman official. Final timeout notification? Work as hard as you can to do it by the book. Whatever it takes. Why not? Just don't go digging into team huddles. I think that we can all agree on that.

Oh, same rules and procedures. Quote:

Again, don't care. I am not stopping a coach from talking to give him this information. Also if I get a chance afterward it is up to them to use that information. Quote:
Quote:
Let me say this as well. If a coach did complain that they were not told, then my next question to them would be, "Don't you have people keeping the book? Don't you try to argue about score and fouls in the book as well and you do not know the timeout situation?" Peace

One thing that is universally agreed upon by those who have achieved great success is that young'uns need fewer voices in their ears, and the voices they do heed need to limit the verbiage and be concise in their messages. I have said it to you many times in the past, but your over-explanations, wordiness, and plethora of what-ifs serve only to confuse those who are trying to learn.

Words Of Wisdom ...
Quote:
So what have I learned from the Forum after sixteen years that I didn't realize previously? Lots of stuff. Most important? When in Rome do as one's Roman trainers, mentors, evaluators, and assigners want one to do. Also, different isn't always better, or worse, it's just different.
