Quick about face
JH 8th grade boys game the other night. 2 very unequally matched teams. B 20 tried to guard a faster guy and ended up accidentally making what would be a great open field tackle on the football field. My partner calls a block. B's coach, who has been chirping all night about ridiculous stuff, wants a charge. Its 20's 5th foul. I inform player and bench. B 20 starts to walk off. Coach says, "Say out on the court" and stares at me. I calmy look at timer and say, "20 seconds. Start the clock." Coach quickly yells at B 20 , get off the court and grabs a sub and yells get in the game." Took about 6 seconds. Quickest change of attitude I've seen in a long time.

Whack now, justify later.

Would have if he'd been chirping at me, but it was always directed at my P. Didn't whack him then because it would have made him think I was listening or taking him seriously.

There's lots of good conversation going on with this thread so I thought I'd better jump in and pile on as well. If he's constantly chirping about your partner, did you ever tell the coach that he wasn't going to be critical of your partner to you? I'm just saying, that as a crew member, I'm not going to let a coach bad mouth my partners without a warning or eventually a T. I'd expect the same courtesy from my partners.

You were there, so its a HTBT, but my take on your comment above is that if a coach is chirping at my P, he's chirping at us!

Good points... however, I didn't hear him chirping. P told me at the quarter and half breaks that he was. Only thing I heard from him was, "Call something...." which translated that night as "my team is getting killed and I'm frustrated." I've whacked many a coach or player for getting on a P and would do so again.

He has 20 seconds to stare, coach, get the sub in, I don't care. But if that kid isn't in and ready to play at 20 seconds, we'll be shooting some free throws.

The coach shouldn't have time to stare, though. Every disqualifying foul -- notify coach, start clock, notify player. In that order.

I agree. If the coach is acting like an a$$, then enforce the rule strictly - T at 20secs. If the coach is trying to get the player in but it takes 22secs then let it go.

Rule citation that allows an extra 2 seconds?
