"Stare at me all you want to..."

[crew]

rain,
on your situation- if the coach were to burn a timeout to stare at me(i consider this showing up an official) i would approach him and say, "you need to get to your bench." if he does not go to his bench within a coupl of sec. i would then give him his second tech and be done with it.

i have a friend that had this similar situation. he went to the coach and asked "do you want a tech?" the coach said, "do it." he then administered the second and the coach went away.

coaches do this and win when the official does not address the situation. you lose credibility in the coaches eyes and make it difficult on yourself in future games with him because he will not have as much respect for you.

i am not saying what you did was wrong(you may have done the best thing for the situation) but this is how i read your situation. he questioning you guys quite a bit it seems.
