Technical Foul Question

[billyu2]

Coach had a been a pain the entire second half. Late in the game one of his players fouled out. Instead of sending the sub to the table, he had the sub stand next to him while he stared me down. I stood patiently looking back at him waiting for the player to report. Finally, seconds before the horn he told the sub, "go ahead" and the sub ran right out on the floor. I turned to the table and innocently asked, "Did he ever report in?" Of course the answer was "no." Whack. Technical on the coach for not replacing a player as required. Should have seen his jaw drop. Priceless!

Similar story. But the coach waited a little too long and and my partner, a grizzled "old school" veteran, whacked him the split second the second horn sounded with no substitute reporting. The coach picked the wrong grizzled "old school" veteran to play "chicken" with that night.

For that matter, you could have tagged the player for running onto the court without reporting AND the coach for failing to provide a sub before the replacement interval expired....that would have really stung.

Ouch. In Kill Bill, remember Beatrix (Uma Thurman) getting shot in the chest with rock salt by Budd (Michael Madsen)? Now double that. Ouch.

I agree with you. There are many times we would just love to whack a Coach on general principles but staring at you is just not one of those things that would be looked upon favorably by the powers that be.

MTD, Sr.

Honestly, the verbal accusation of of a lack of integrity is the biggest violation. But, the first one of those would probably result in a quiet unofficial warning. But being out of the coaching box? good excuse for a T. Nice of him to give that to you.

Now that would have been nasty, Cameron. I like it! I know I was a veteran official at the time but apparently hadn't yet reached the category of "old school grizzled veteran" mentioned in a previous post.
