Tech on Coach situation

If a coach repeatedly stands and demonstrably disputes a call, any official, will T him up. But that's because of his actions. I'm not going to tell him he has to sit if he's not instructing his players though. (at least not until after the T )

In case you have not been around the game a long time, enforcement is open to some interpretation - called game management. Do you call every foul by the letter of the rule? For instance, I never SEE a pregame dunk. I HEAR it and address it without a T.

Look, it's handled in the pregame conference. We state what the coaches box rule is. "You can stand to instruct your players but then you must sit back down. We will give some leeway but don't use the box to address the refs."

The first violation - MY game management style - gets the letter of the law enforced with a warning. The next gets the T and a permanent seat. Unless of course the F bomb or some such is dropped right off.

Why argue with me about how a certain state handles the situation? I am just telling you how it is for informational purposes. Have a nice night.
