Coach refuses to sit down

[Turk182]

Ok, maybe the official was trying not to give the coach a "T". Maybe it's the way the coach told the official " you can't make me sit down". "Ok coach, that's enough, you need to sit down" (this should be a warning to the coach), coach: With his chest stuck out, and pointing his finger at the official, and screaming at the top of his lungs..." You can't make me sit down". I think that warrants a "T" and if he doesn't sit then, I give him another and wave good bye.

why does that warrant the T -- the coach was baited -- you asked him to do something you have no right to and when he didnt comply you gave him a T because, once again, you asked him to do something out of your juridiction.

if you need a coach to relax say something like

"Coach shut the @#$@#$ up" or "Coach I cannot have you act like that after a call you disagree with, however I will address any of your questions should you ask them in a respectful manner."

there you gave your warning and you even offered a solution. Much better than "Coach Sit down." unless he's hairy, runs on all fours and has a tail -- that will only lead to more problems.

I see no problem with your example, although if he hasn't been issue a T before that incident, why is he asking the coach to sit down. yes tell him "coach enough", "Coach you've said more than I want to hear", " Coach you are treading thin waters" many different coments. even the famous "hand". I just wouldn't have told him to sit down, we all know once a Bench T has been issue, you loose the coaching previlages of standing, if no prior T was issue I would not tell a coach to sit down.. IMO
