It was a legitimate question- and observations- from the coach. You don't have to agree with him, but you also don't have the right to tell him or any one else how to post, including hijackers. That's the mods' job. |

Also this is not about for me how long Penn. Coach has been here or how liked he is. If he is so concerned about the professionalism of the official, he should be more offended by the behavior of the coach who did not have to say anything to this official. If you say or do certain things, you will get responses that may or may not be right as it relates to professionalism, but are to be expected. Like Chris Rock said, "I might not agree...but I understand." Peace

And neither of those is really any different than a coach "getting his comments out" either imo. If a coach wants to ask a question about a call, play, etc. in a civil manner, fine. He should receive an answer, and be shown the same respect while doing so. If a coach wants to comment on the officiating however, then he's got no complaint at all if he gets his yappy butt "T"d up. It's NO different than an official commenting on the coach. Neither should be done. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Wed Jan 17, 2007 at 04:53pm. |

A tough situation that got entirely out of hand. I bet all party's could play the game tape backwards and find the roots of this dialogue that made both coach and referee look less than professional in the eyes of the players and fans.
This makes me further appreciate my ability to call a "T" on a coach that is effecting my ability to call the best game I can - BEFORE it grows nasty. Sorry PA Coach - if the offending referee is any good at all - I'm certian that (s)he regrets the outcome.

When I first started officiating I had a veteran official tell me to treat most coaches like I would one of my kids. Not out of disrespect. Keep a calm voice, administer any penelty ( T or other foul ), try and bring them to your level, not raise to thier level. Walk away if you have to. Most coaches will respect you for your professionalism in the end. Don't take anything personally. Sometimes it's hard, but in the end it's 99% worth it. This is suppose to fun for us too!

There are coaches that don't know what the heck they are doing and don't know when to quit. There are similar officials. I've encountered more rude coaches than refs in my career, but that doesn't mean I haven't seen any. And as others have pointed out, there is indeed a dichotomy. For example, if someone had posted that "A coach said that a ref called the worst game ever," none of us would bat an eyelash. But when it's reversed, it's headline news.

For conversation sake.......why is it the officials job to make sure good "game management" takes place? Seems to me, almost all bad "game management" scenerios happen because a coach acts like an a$$.
I love how a coach will ride an official, make personal statements, and then complain about getting T'd, stared at, or stop-signed (which I don't do). |

If I were to rank the actions of this official among the actions of all adults' actions I've seen at basketball games, it wouldn't be #1--not even in the top 1000--but it is the poorest thing I've ever heard an official say. That's why I thought it would be of interest to this forum. For those of you who got that, cool. For those of you who didn't, that's cool too. No need to rip me or my integrity (orangeump).

Bad behavior is evidence of poor attitude, poor sportsmanship, insecurity or ignorance; it does not just "come with the job." Secondly, while officials do not have an investment in the results, we do have a legitimate interest in the performance. Better played games are, most often, better officiated. Poorly coached games can really cause officials grief. The difference, however, is that, unlike coaches, we have to keep this to ourselves.
