Get 'em both?
Here's the sitch:
8th grade AAU. One team clearly outclassed by the other. Losing team commits a turn-over and head coach and assistant coach both stand, at the same time, and scream "Jesus Chr!st!" I gave the HC a technical foul, but wonder if I shouldn't have rung them both up. Thoughts? |
Dumb question.:D
Did they both commit "T"-worthy acts? If both had told you to FO, would you only nail the head coach? Nip it, nip it in the bud. Btw, make sure that you give the head coach an indirect "T" for his assistants yapping also, to go along with his direct "T". |
I agree. As the Immortal Dave would say, "It's T for two". :D

One whack is enough I think... Kills two birds with one stone. You can always go back and give the assistant one later! :) |
IMO, one T is plenty. It sends the message you want. There is also a case play (10.4.1 Sit D) where one T is called even though several coaches and subs are standing. I know that's a little different because "JC" is more unsportsmanlike, but it's still the same general idea.

Multiple players and coaches standing up minding their own business is one thing. Multiple players and/or coaches standing up to yell (especially profanities) at me - each of them is getting T'ed up. |
I am a bit confused here...if a coach gets on direct T and then gets an indirect T...is he/she ejected? Or is it two indirects and one direct? I know that two directs and three indirects equals ejection...but what about the combination?
|
A coach is ejected for two direct technicals or three direct OR indirect technicals.
Thus, the head coach could get a direct technical and an indirect tech because of the bench (i.e. assistant coach) and not yet be ejected. However, an additional technical on the bench would result in the second indirect technical on the head coach, giving him three total (one direct and two indirect) and would result in ejection. |
One T.

Any combination of three is ejection. So, this would not be an ejection. The coach would be one direct or one inderect away from ejection. |

I think I'm giving two here.
Although I see the two birds with one stone idea by just whacking the assistant. |
Hey, did you put your pin on the map, JR?:D
|
Two T's.......

It's amazing how quickly they learn after they get whacked, "they" being everybody on the bench. Note though that I've never believed in bench watching. If I see it, I'll take care of it. If I hear it and it's exceptionally bad but I can't identify who said it, I'll get the person responsible for bench conduct----> the coach. Works for me. Other methods may work just as well for other officials. As long as the game is controlled, who cares? Jmo....... |
Wait a minute... If they had screamed "Bhudda"...or "Confuscious" or "Ghandi" would you have T'd them up??
In this age of PC, it behooves you to consider everyone's feelings. Sorry, I was watching Hannity and Colmbes, and Colmbes was on last. Please disregard. |

Things went much more smoothly after that. |
Just the head coach is enough to me. I'd make sure sometime soon after that he got a message from me or my partners that he better maintain control of his bench.
|
IMO the head coach call was a good one. If there is a problem with the message getting through & the AC continues then he gets one. Game management & control are the desirable outcomes so I believe initially one is better than two.

I think that if a coach yelled "Monday Night Football" at a call, it might be OK. :) |
