Accused of cheating ??

[MidMadness]

Heres one...How would you react to this...Being accused by a coach of calling it 1 way..example..Every time there is a jump ball...The coach says red?? How can it be red, it was red last time... I walk over to the coach and say,,,Coach, do you think I woke up this morning and said to myself...This afternoon, in my 2nd game of 3..I will make sure red wins?? Do you really think thats what I did???

Sometimes people forget that the arrow changes at the start of quarters. Remind the coach to check the arrow at the scorer's table.

Well I hope that's not what you actually said to the coach

Actually, if it was an AAU game I think it's pretty funny.

Something like this? Hardly even worth addressing.

If the coach tries to argue it - like "No -- it's OUR ball!!!!!" I would just calmly walk over and say, "Coach - you got the ball at the half / last jump ball / etc."

Now, if the coach really accuses you of cheating - something to the effect of, "You've been calling against us all night!" you have to address it. I would tell him once, "Coach, I'm not going to listen to comments like that."

Next time... WHACK!

Oh yeah -- I agree zebraman... AAU / Summer league ball -- do whatever you want and/or whatever makes for the most humorous stories afterwards.

For example, I *cough* know a referee that once addressed an AAU "coach" that was being quite the idiot by saying, "Coach, I'm ashamed for you."

The coach replied, "I'm ashamed for you!!!!!"

WHACK!

Important to note: There is nothing in the rule book about baiting a coach!!!

I am not going to say anything to a coach in this situation.

Good rule of thumb:

If it is blatant that a coach is accusing you or your crew of cheating, no talking just give a Technical. Let me just throw in that each situation is different though and that some situations can be handled by saying something to a coach, but I haven't had to talk to one yet. It should be a guideline in the rulebook that we T coaches up for this. They know they have stepped over the line, so we need to let them know that with some kind of penalty instead of no penalty (talking to them).

I've used this many times with coaches I've worked with and opposing coaches that think they should have had the last AP. The look on their faces is always priceless.

You could carry this a step further and tell him [or her in that 1 in 10 situation] that he can have 3 of the next 5.
