Giving a T

[blindzebra]

Good ejection, just some advice:

1. Use the whistle, and calmly give the T signal, report it to the table and get away to find your partner.

2. Let your partner know what you have and let your partner inform the coach that he/she lost the coaches box. This does two things, it helps defuse the emotions of both you and the coach and it keeps any confusion away.

3. Whenever a coach is ejected and refuses to leave, it's simple. Tell the timer he/she has one minute and if they haven't left by the time the minute is up...ballgame!

He was with the visiting team so they were gone by the time I came out of the office after post game.

Wait - you mean he never did find that rule???

I always use the whistle to signal a technical foul except for pre-game administrative or dunking T's. A good piece of advice that I've been given is to turn or walk away from the coach before you signal the T. That way you're not as confrontational, you're not seen as provoking a response and if the coach decides to react, you've put some room between him/her and you.
