Actually, overall, the game didn't go too badly. Other than a preponderance of travels and having 4 girls foul out.... 7 minute quarters took about 1:45 to complete. Bottom line, I'll take this as an experiment in bench decorum.

I feel your pain......
This kind of thing tends to be more of a problem at the MS/JH level and you have to stop it early. I try to be proactive - if before the game I see more than one coach, I ask explicitly who is the head coach, then tell them right then that they are the only one allowed to stand to coach. The first time an assistant stands when they shouldn't or starts to get mouthy, I tell the previously identified head coach "Get your bench under control". Next time it happens, immediate T and now no one from that team gets to stand. |

I work with some lower level officials that don't do pregame meetings. I always do a short one mainly for the coaches just to let them know that they don't get to act like the guys they see on TV. It seems to help.

Head Coach and Asst. Coach are both standing.
Me: "Coach, I can only have the Head Coach standing, your Asst. needs to sit down. Thanks for your help." Coach (to Asst.): "Sit down." End of discussion. If they don't want to follow the rules set forth . . . Coach's Asst. gets up again. Me: "Coach, your Asst. needs to sit down. This is your warning." I then inform my partners of the warning. Coach (to Asst.): "SIT DOWN, and don't get up again." End of discussion. Coach's Asst. gets up again. Me: TWEET! "Technical Foul on Team A. Coach, you and your asst. will need to remain seated for the remainder of the game. Thank you." Shoot two, inbound the ball. End of discussion. IMO, you let it go too far. I am sure you were just trying to be accomodating, but that is why you only have ONE Head Coach. In fact, I don't talk with assistant coaches. They are there to coach their kids. (however, if they (asst.) ask a question during a time-out or during intermissions, and they are courteous and professional, I will answer the question. There is no reason to be rude.) |

Can't find it.....
I am trying to find stuff on the pre-game conference in the rules or casebooks. But alas it is not there. i know in volleyball it is mandatory for the head coach to attend. Anything similar in basketball ?

A brief pregame meeting with the coaches is essential IMHO - that's the best place to address this kind of stuff. It's mandatory here as well.
Here we use a 15-11-8-3 protocol for HS games: On the floor no later than 15 minutes pregame R checks books at 11 minutes (gives them time to make corrections if needed) Captains at 8 minutes Coaches at 3 minutes It works well for MS/JH games as well, but sometimes we have to squeeze it together a little to fit in the time they allot between games.
