Sometimes I'll add, "A Point of Emphasis this year is bench decorum. Your assistants and the other team members may not address the officials, and must remain seated on the bench. If you deal with it, we won't have to."
Really? According to what rule?

Well, let's go to the book.

Officials manual, page 16.

103.
...
c. Avoid unnecessary visiting with spectators, coaches, etc., following introductions.

105. The Referee - Pregame Duties:
...
j. Verify with the head coach that team members are legally and properly equipped and that all participants are expected to exhibit proper sporting behavior.


(Now, let's go to time2ref's personal fantasy pre-game talk with the coaches....."I just want both of you coaches to know that each game, I work on a couple of things to help me improve. This game, I am working on T'ing up the coaches. You guys could help me out if you would go ahead and complain about each and every call or no-call. Feel free to leave the coaching box and make sure your assistants stand up and become very vocal. That way I can go ahead and get the mechanics of the Technical foul and coach ejection thing out of the way early in the game so I can go on to work on something else, like officiating the game........) WAKE up time2ref, your dreaming! LOL.

Once saw a d-II official tell an assistant coach, "Coach, yours is a sitting and no speaking role tonight. Thanks." 'Bout fell out of my seat.

I don't always remind them about the box, depends on how I feel about the game. I will do it if there are chairs outside the box between the box and the scorers table.
In our area, whenever we run into that situation, we just have game management move the chairs so that they are all inside the box. Otherwise, the coach often takes the first chair and he is out of the box as soon as he stands up.

My daughter's middle school sent home a memo for parents letting us know that they are stressing "sportspersonship" in gym class and sports events.

No joke.

No, I am quite serious. I am mad as hell about sexism and I'm not going to take it anymore.

Have Fun

I agree with Mick. It seems contrary to wish both teams "Good Luck", so I always say "Have Fun".

No more contrary than the coaches wishing each other good luck.

Now I introduce my self to the coaches.
I have been giving them a little spiel about only head coaches can stand and do they have any questions concerning the rules.

Is that enough or what ? No one has has really ever covered this with me beyond introduce yourself to the coaches ,

I also work in an area with like 120 high school so I see most of these coaches once maybe twice a year.

I guess I am looking for a preset routine for this .....
Good Evening Coach, I am Mr. Wilson and My Partner is Mr. Doe. Are you going to use your box? Are all of your players properly equiped? Let us know on the time outs if you want a full or 30. Any questions? Good luck!

I never ask the "properly equipped" question. I will, however, inform the coaches of any equipment infraction I had to address in warm-ups.
