If the coach wins say by 1 point, and then makes a comment that would've earned him a T during the game as I'm walking out, if I'm still within the visual confines of the playing area, then I will whack him, it hasn't happened yet, but if the coach is risking his victory, then I will put it in the hands of the other teams best free throw shooter.

Preventative officiating: Try to stay away from coaches after the game if possible. Part of my pre-game is that my partner and I stay as far away from the table area AFTER the game as possible. We can make a verbal check with the table to make sure everything is copasetic without actually having to be AT the table. The last thing I want to do is punish the kids who just won a hard-fought game because their coach decides to be an idiot after the game.

I never go out of my way to meet a coach post game, I'm speaking of the hypothetical situation that the coach comes running towards me screaming after the game, It's never happened, I'm not expecting it to happen, the last thing I would want to do is dissapoint the players of a little stupid thing their coach does, it has to be a BIG stupid thing.
