I don't know if I'm getting into the middle of some kinda personal thingy.....but.... BktBallRef just wanted to make the same point that I also wanted to make....there is no rules provisions for anyone on the bench to protest any call, unless it's the head coach in a correctable error situation. We simply do(or should) not allow it.

Don't you think that new officials should be taught the correct rules? Isn't that what this forum is for?Or am I missing something?

I am not sure what is in the air, or water around here, but it seems that coaching behavior and player behavior has reached some sort of critical mass. I have had to assess more Ts this year than in all the previous seasons combined.

I had a girl step over an opponent who was still down on the floor from a loose ball and drag her trailing foot across the opponents abdomen.

I've had a kid get fouled, get the call, yet still swing his elbows while yelling "Get off me" and whack a kid in the chest pretty hard.

I've had an assistant coach complain about a call 15 seconds after being warned by my partner that anything else will be a T.

I had a coach confront me at the scorer's table at the 10:00 mark while checking the book to complain about the resumption of play procedure in a previous game. (No T there, but we ended up with one down the road in the game)

Has Bobby Knight been on TV THAT much lately????

Absolutely. Yes. If this had been a Q from a regular poster, who should know these answers, I would have no problem with a mean spirited response. Moshiner1345 is new and deserved a civil response.

Man, if you think that was mean-spirited, you just haven't been paying attention.

I guess I have been watching too many political debates lately.

Chill out your damn self. I'm wondering what other misinformation may have been passed along to him. I'm also glad he sensed something was not quite right.

Did I mention to chill out your damn self?

Since you've been here a while, take that as mean spirited if you like.

The OP never mentioned anything about misinformation or that he sensed something was not quite right. He just asked a few Q's.
Oh, by the way, you forgot to tell the OP your regurgitated message about when a fan/coach tells you are doing a good job then you got to believe them when you suck...
