Recently in a boys varsity ball game, one of the coaches called a time out to obviously protest a percieved bad call. I saw it coming and tried to head it off at the pass by saying to him "Don't come out here, I'll come talk to you after I report the time out." His response to me was "I'll come out here anytime I want.." and boy howdy did he. I had no recourse but to deliver the 'T'.. (During pre-game with my partner, we agreed to defuse this type of situation by letting the other official explain the loss of coaching box priveledge to the offending coach.) My partner had settled down (or so I thought) the coach and as we were getting ready for a throw in several teen seconds after this indident, I remembered a suggestion made to me many years ago by a mentor of mine. I happened to administering the throw in directly in front of the coach I had 'Teed" a few minutes ago, when I heard an obvious diparaging remark from him. Wanting to keep him in a close, conference game, I turned and called a bench technical foul, which is an indirect on him. He got the point.. I explained this time to him that 1 more, direct or in-direct, would leave us no other choice but to remove him from the game. My mentor told me long ago that our job as officials is not to run coaches & rats (thats star spelled backward)but to do our best to keep them on the court. I had a good talk with him after the game and he was surprised that I obviously circumvented the rules to allow him to participate. He still disagreed with the initial call, but felt better after I had expalined things from my point of view..

Joe Bob,

Why did you not put the ball in play with a throw-in at the division line opposite the scoring table?
(like the rules say) after a technical the ball is put in play at the division line opposite the benchs!

If you were not in front of the bench of the coach you just "T'ed" you would not have heard his comment and their would not have been the "indirect" The next time the heat is on "put the ball in play and give the coach something else to think about!

Joe Bob,
I have too recieved the same advice and have used it effectively. I once gave a technical to a silent assistant coach, and after he then protested, I told him it was because he wasn't controlling his head coach! Again, message was received, and coach chilled after that.

Who was the bench technical called on specifically so that the coach only received an Indirect?
