Did I Bait Him Into It?

[Junker]

Where were your partners? If I'm the non-calling official in this case, I'm heading over to do the preventive officiting with the player. In this case I would tell them I understand that you're frustrated and why your frustrated, but we don't need to see you throw up your hands on the floor. I'm becoming more and more a believer that officials shouldn't initiate conversations with coaches. Nothing good seems to come of it for the most part. I don't think you baited him, but it might not have been the best time to initiate a conversation.
