Legimate T
So I'm starting my 5th year of this gig. Been doing all the appropriate things that everyone says to do and its going great. I should be getting a 75% Varsity schedule this year.
One of the areas I have paid particular attention to has been the whole game management/ coaches deal. So I have communication skills, I talk to them, and I deal with them. In our area the coaches run roughshod over the officials . And we have an assignor that,when he reffed, he was the T man...So we have basically free reigh in taking care of business which doesn't seem to happen. I have clearly fallen in the camp of "taking care of bidness". So the games I work have more T's then alot of other officials. I do the drill with the coaches but when it's time to T I do and that seems to be the difference between me and others.....So I gave all this background and stuff cause I'm going to need some people to bounce my T's off of this season. Junior High coach who is real quiet. Had him last week not a peep. 1st Quarter not a peep. Then a current NBA player comes and sits down on the bench. Kids on the team. Said NBA player says nothing to me and partner all night. But now all of a sudden coach gets chippy. Fine I'll work with him. So I'm doing the communication drill, talking ,answering his somewhat legimate questions, but he's spiraling up. So I tell him "Thats enough" . My tone is like a scientist in a lab-I actually play alot of things close to the chest so I can definetly stay cool under pressure. As I'm walking away he yells at me "You just need to do your job." Loud enough that the whole gym heard. "Tweet" I give him his T. I wasn't personally affronted it really was business. I know this is a HTBT but is my giving him this T reasonable ? |
