T'ed Up?

I have to say that I didn't think that the coach's original post was that bad. He didn't say "all officials suck" or "all officials are cheaters". He didn't even say that about the officials in the game to which he was referring.

He simply asked if a technical was warranted in the situation that he described. Personally, I think that if he YELLED, "Call it both ways!" across the floor it certainly could warrant a technical foul. Maybe after seeing the opinions of several other officials he will change his viewpoint somewhat.

I think that it's valuable to have coaches visit this board. If more did maybe they would understand the rules better or know how to interact with officials on a more reasonable level.

I don't *hate* coaches like some officials do. Sure, I think that some of them are complete idiots and raving lunatics because of what they do on the court. But, business is business -- it's not personal. Just deal with them in the appropriate manner and move on.
