This guy gets a better workout than the kids!!

[JugglingReferee]

Good timing at 1:45 for the drums and slapping the padding on the scorer's table.

[Mark Padgett]

This guy needs a six pack of Valium.

[grunewar]

This guy should do a workout tape and an infomercial - "Lose Weight the Coach Basile Way!" The boy is high strung ain't he?

[ca_rumperee]

Not from his approach... dude will live to 100 if left alone.

But, when you tee him up and the seatbelt goes on.... its over.

[Mark Padgett]

This guy makes Richard Simmons look catatonic.

[Lcubed48]

I wonder how much time and money he spends on his choreography?

[stripes]

Why don't the officials ever address the behavior? Aside from a couple of small waves of the hand, they never said or did anything to the guy. Amazing.

Address it how? What are you going to do, make him not exhibit enthusiasm? I am not saying that everything he does is good, but it is certainly not against the rules to jump up and down. He does get out of the box, but the officials are not watching him. They are watching the play in most of the video the game seems to be on the other side of the court. And the officials did address him the one time it looked like he said something to the officials.

I do not know about you, but I am not watching a coach all game long.

Peace

I kind of disagree with you. If he is out of the coaching box, slapping the scoring table, as well as banging his head on it, that is not enthusiasm, that is poor sportsmanship. If I see that, we would have had a nice conversation......We had a coach in our area that did that a lot and even put his bottled water on the scoring table. This gave him an excuse to be out of the box. In Virginia (VHSL), the situation is kind of simple, if you are out of the box, its a technical foul regardless of the reason. Is it enforced???? Sometimes. JMHO of course!!!!

The guy is nuts...I could care less about him jumping up and down in respose to his kids scoring, but some of his histrionics were quite obviously directed at the officials - turning to the crowd and giving the big travelling signal, etc. That kind of stuff needs to be dealt with - plus the fact that his assistants started feeding off of him and were up complaining/arguing several times. Not a good situation...

That sounds wonderful, but most of the time the officials were not in the picture and obviously on the other side of the court. Very little of his antics were with officials standing next to him. And the point is that unless there is a dead ball, most officials might not have any idea he is even jumping around or hitting the table. And if you want an automatic T given, you do have to have the officials witness the behavior. It was clear that most officials were likely paying attention to the play, not the actions or the whereabouts of the coach.

Yeah, I certainly agree with you there, but managing the coachs is a part of "game management" as well. Not saying I would be looking for stuff, but I try to keep aware of the whole game, coaches included. Once again, just my opinion.
