I got nutin'.

Team B asst. coach stands and yells, "C'mon ref! What was that!?!"

I whistle, turn, WHACK!, and say, "That's a technical foul. That's what that is coach!"



I apologized to her during my next turn as tableside trail. Not for the T because she earned that but for my comment.

It's a lot of fun to talk about what we can say in these situations. But when push comes to shove, it sounds very unprofessional. I even apologize to the table crew, who heard the comment and the Team B head coach.

Gotta learn to keep my trap shut!

Tony,

Was the T for what was said (not that bad) or because it came from an assistant coach? If it was because it came from an assistant, couldn't you have just told the head coach that you didn't want to hear any more complaining from his/her assistant coaches before the whack? Or had the assistant been up prior?
