Good officiating?

BITS,

I know that this doesn't apply to all coaches but I'll say it anyway. Coaches aren't the best judges of officials during their own specific game. They just can't be objective and they can't separate their own bias toward/against their team. A foul against their team becomes "we teach them to block out". A travel aganst their team becomes "we teach that move". A missed layup becomes "if things weren't so physical, she would have made that". It's almost like a call goes against their ability to coach.

If they are watching a game not involving their team, they have a little more insight than a fan. Other than that, there is nothing in their background that makes them qualified to even rate an official.

With that being said, we have a very successful experience with coaches becoming officials after they tire of coaching. They do understand the game.
