Where is this list of coaches supposed to be located?

:eek:


Warnings are not required!

OK OHBBREF, sounds legit. :) I always talk about that situation in my pre-game, but it still happened to us last night (I had displacement on my end and partner had block on under end with similar displacement). So we talked about it again at first dead ball.... no problems rest of way.

Of course not -- especially when the coach "leaps over the line."

But, when the coach sidles up to it, sticks a toe over it, then steps with one foot over the line, it's good to have a warning.

No warnings are not required, but if the complaints get pushed up the line to the assignor, its good for him/her to see on tape that a warning was given. That is why virtually every assignor I work for likes to see a stop sign. Don't put it in the coaches face, just raise your hand so it can be seen on the video. Its visual proof that not only was a warning given, but that the referee isn't shown to have a hair trigger. I generally don't extend my hand when Iuse it. It works about half the time. The other half....well, the stop sign is half of the next signal to be given, i just need to turn my hand and bring the ther one up. :D

actually warnings are required procedurally per the NCAA when a coach is out of the box
this is the instruction from the NCAA sessions

One Warning issued for a coach clearly and completely out of the box for:
- Appropriately communicating with officials
- Coaching his/her team
- Engaged in miscellaneous legal activities (getting water, retrieving
shirt)
- Minor conduct infractions

This one's easy enough. :)

"No warning is required for unsporting behavior, Coach."

So if you're working NCAA or NAIA, use them. Just don't think you have to do this in high school.

FWIW, I agree with Bob.

"Yoo-Hoo" ...
 

An unofficial guideline for our local board is that if the coach's statement either starts with, "You", or ends with, "You", then you better start thinking about giving a technical foul, and sitting him down. Especially the statement that ends with, "You", if you know what I mean.

"Love you. Love this town. Getting sick and lovin' tired of all your lovin' around."

BTW, put me in the 'GREAT CALL' camp in response to the OP.

Well done, Chessref.
