Inadvertent Whistle limit

Officials do need to be highly aware of situations like these. An automatic T is not a good thing, imho.

A first year JV coach likely doesn't think about such things as to yell instructions to his players when an official isn't nearby. I can't say for certain, since I wasn't there, but based on your account, it certainly sounds like this T is unwarranted.

In my entire career, I've actually taken back 1 T. It happened after I learned more info from my P. Ya, it didn't look good, but it was the right call.

One way to quickly move up from JV to V is to understand people, and that includes understanding how first year JV coaching works.

First of all, we really don't know enough of the context in which this took place. So it's impossible to comment directly on whether it was warranted or not. Perhaps this same, alleged first year JV coach has been on the crew the whole game begging for calls and generally being an ***. This frequently happens in lower level games when the team is getting beat and the coach can't figure out what else to do.

Second, this is where JV coaches learn those lessons. Perhaps he was only coaching his team. Perhaps. I'll bet he won't make that same mistake again. Not if he's actually smart enough to be a V coach some day.

This has got to be the first time the words "JV coach", and, "smart", have appeared in the same Forum post, at the same time. Are we becoming more tolerant, or what?

Maybe we should all get together and sing "Kum By Yah", or "We Are The World". Does anybody have a pitch pipe?

You failed to highlight the word "if". That's key to the discussion

I would only add that you set the bar fairly low to begin with.
