Banged by a banged coach

[Ref Daddy]

When to warn.

I think SPIRIT OF THE RULES.

When I find the coach's verbals to me or partner becomes a distraction, when his/her chirping is increasing in intensity and given our best efforts not to pay attention they are getting harder to ignore - Warn.

We are challenged with focusing on the game to manage it and enforce rules. A coach that is taking away from that effort and responsibility should be warned.

So - first time I define or say in my mind : 1) this coach is asking for it, or 2) that was an attention gathering remark, or 3) his/her players are mimicking him/her, or 4) coach is getting louder and stronger - then a warning is warranted and deserved.

Warning's do make the ultimate T easier to defend. If you think one might be coming - warn.
