Good grief. hy is everyone so bent on not letting assistant coaches ask a question. If it's polite, answer them...if they're pissing and whining, then take care of business. I just do not understand why some in our profession are so quick to slam the door on assistant coaches when all they are doing is asking a question. Anyone ever hear the old "You can catch more flies with honey" bit?

So I should've ignored his quiet and respectful "This is a 30?" and "We're getting it right here, right?" while I marked the spot of the throw-in about ten feet away from him?

No...a resonable question ALWAYS receives a reasonable response. I don't give a rat's *** whether it's the head coach, the assistant coach, the trainer - if they are polite and ask a question during a dead ball time, answer it. There's no excuse for being an a$$ just because the other person isn't the head coach.

Same with players -- I will talk to any player who is polite, whether s/he is the captain. And, if s/he is not polite, then it doesn't matter that s/he is the captain. |

I circle the captains names in the book and ask them if we are ready to start the game (when lined up for the jump -- at least that used to be in the mechanics manual - no idea if it still is and I'm not looking now) and then promptly forget who the captains are after that. What Bob said.

I am going to agree with Rockyroad on this. The explanation given in the original post was fine. He was just trying to communicate and give a coach a better understanding of what took place. The coach didn't like the statement and stepped over the line. He was penalized accordingly. Fine.
Asst coaches sometimes say things that cause problems during the course of a game. They also have an interest in the outcome and can react (appropriately) to plays. I have used asst coaches to help in some situations. In my area there is a coach in particular that for some reason he and I have a hard time working with each other. If he and I are having trouble communicating, I will say a couple of words to the asst to be relayed and that helps in most situations. An asst coach can be an asset if used properly, so why not take advantage of them. |
