WE had this question at our meeting tonight.

Coach doesn't like a call. Turns and addresses the fans loudly, "Hey, is there a referee in the house?" What do you do?

Most of us said T or toss. Interpreter said, ignore.

I'd be interested in any opinions any of my learned colleagues on this board would care to express.

Hmmmm...interesting. Just a thought - if a player "self-promoting" to the fans is worthy of T, why not a coach trying to incite a crowd reaction. If the big guy says ignore it I guess I can go along with that, but the length of the coach's leash just got very very short in my book, & I would probably enforce bench decorum & coach's behavior to the letter of the rule.

It must have been an interesting discussion, sorry I missed it - had a JV girls game at Century tonight.

I think it would depend on the relationship that I have with the coach. That might determine if I thought he was trying to show me up or just have fun etc.,

Either way, he's going to have a short leash the rest of the night.

Thanks
David

It wasn't much of a discussion at all. Question was asked, we responded and then "we got tode..." but not by Howard. This was the rules person, whose name I"ll withhold for the moment. I"ll be interested to hear what Camron has to say. Or Smitty.

It seems cut and dry to me.

The comment was disrespectful, it was toward the crowd with the intent to incite, and it is an improper use of the coach's box.

Was there any reasoning behind the ignore suggestion?

"Don't throw gas on a fire." I don't agree, with that analysis. Seems to me it's the coach that's throwing gas on the fire! No one argued though, because it was right at the end of the meeting, and we all wanted to leave. I might e-mail him, though. It puzzles me that anyone would think this was ignorable.

I love it when coaches ask to get a T, it makes it simple.

Just out of curiousity, what's the interpreter's history and experience? HS only? College too?

I'd only smile so he'd know how much I enjoyed whacking him.
