Yes these are all true events from this week. Late season intensity I guess. Asking advise.
1) During play, bench players standing constantly. Coach warned. Coach then instructs the bench to "do the wave" so all are not standing at once. 2) Assistant coach talking on a cell phone during live ball. 3) Assistant coach standing. Warned coach. Assistant was standing taping an ankle of a previously injured player. We asked she (AC) sit. Refused because player was hurt and attention was being given. You make the call!

1. First, I would not let the players stand all the time. One warning and then a T. In the instance given, T at the wave instruction
2. Tell the coach to end the conversation, if it persists, T. 3. I have no problem with the asst taping an ankle or giving any other medical assistance. Then sit down.

I agree with btgt19 on all situations. Why T an assistant for talking on the phone? That's a bit of a reach. It's very unprofessional, but I don't see a problem with it as long as he's on the bench where he belongs. Besides, maybe he's ordering a pizza for the official's locker room after the game.

ART. 3 . . . Use television monitoring or replay equipment or computers (other than for statistics) for coaching purposes during the game or any intermission or use a megaphone or any mechanical sounding device or any electronic transmission device at courtside for coaching purposes, or electronic equipment for voice communication with players. In this situation (2 of 3) I was wondering ... Do I have to stop a game and ask who s/he's talking too!?! and determine if its for coaching purposes? Or do I assume and prohibit. Weird. An I'll close by wondering if they would be genuine in their answer anyway.

But, of course, how do you know? I think you just say he can't use it on the bench. Feel free to use it in the hallway, just not on the bench.

Just messin' with you Chuck (and not very artfully, at that!). I like this discussion forum because it equips me with information I wouldn't necessarily otherwise have (or at least not as quickly). I hadn't thought of a cell phone as being useful for coaching purposes -- hence my counsel to ignore -- but I suppose absent some suggestion that it WAS being used for coaching purposes, the best advice might be to say to a coach (or directly to the AC) at a convenient dead ball: "Electronic devices aren't allowed on the bench for coaching purposes, coach. You may not have been using it for that reason, but since we'll never know why a phone is being used, it's just better to keep it off the bench, O.K.? Thanks." |

1) I would personally warn as much as possible - then T. They can stand to spontaneously react to a play, but then must sit down.
2) Who cares!!!!! Ignore it. 3) Pass on it. Let the assistant tape an ankle and get back to coaching. Bench decorum is certainly a point of emphasis from assignors/state associations, but we shouldn't become involved with every minute detail. Call the obvious, call what's important and manage the rest. |
