Putting a bug in their ear

[gordon30307]

Coach, Don't call time outs to complain about a call. If you come at me agressively I'll tell you to coach your team. If you ask me in a reasonable manner I'll say I'll watch for it. Don't waste your time outs for that. You can ask me the same question as I'm running up and down the court you'll get the same answer I'll watch for it.

As an official it's generally not a good idea to answer questions as to what you do and donot call. A fellow official that I work with in his pregame used to talk about hand checking etc. etc. Now the first time we don't call hand checking What do you think the Coach said. You said you were going to call hand checking.
