Perhaps tarheelcoach could show this website to the official in the aforementioned game. It is a good tool to improve ourselves at what we do. Maybe he could air his side of the story.

Conversely, while many of this board's members are fanatical in being prepared, that attitude is not always shared by those refereeing below the HS level. To expect volunteer coaches and underpaid referees to be perfect all the time is unrealistic. In an ideal world, coaches would be licensed by the same organization that licenses the referees, with mandatory annual re-qualifying. Trusting the health of our children to random volunteers is insane. However, there is a shortage of even unqualified coaches and referees in many areas, so this is unlikely to happen soon. As for tarheelcoach's situation, taken at face value, this could well have been a referee who is studying as hard as he can and just happened to be currently studying the part about only the head coach being allowed to stand, so this may have been fresh in his mind as something to look at. Nonetheless, it is the head coach's responsibility to know that his bench personnel are confined to the bench (hence the name) and ensure that they follow this rule. A good guideline to follow is: Assistant coaches should be not seen and not heard. |

This may seem petty, but it shows the slippery slope that coaches (and players) get into. They sort of know the rule, but not really. The asst. coach was not reacting to a great play; he was yelling for his team to foul. Certainly emotional...but clearly not even close to being covered by the rule. |
