Another Crazy Coach

[81artmonk]

As refs, do you allow for any kind of disagreement with the refs call at all?? I'll be honest, sometimes I don't like the call and as a layman would say, eventually it evens out with both teams. But sometimes a ref does make a bad judegment, of course in my opinion. done without malice, can a coach argue the call, or do you as refs just won't allow a coach to argue. Or is it the coaches who argue EVERYTHING that get the refs wrath. This question isn't a general lump refs together question but a each one who repsonds gives their opinion about that.

The rules do not allow you to argue any call. You can ask a question, but that's it. If you do argue a call, then it simply depends on the tolerance level of each different official as to whether you'll get a "T" or not. Iow, if you do get nailed, there's no use whining about it. You're not supposed to be arguing with the officials ever, by rule.

If it's a question in a polite manner, I'll answer it if I have a chance. If it's an expression of disagreement, I'll ignore it occasionally.
If it's constant officiating from the coaching box or bench, I'll ask him politely to stop. I'll ask once.
I don't expect you to agree with every call; but I do expect you not to tell me loudly every time you disagree.
