While I don't disagree, I think the main reason was I heard many officials use the phrase, "If the coach ain't talking to me, I'm not worried about what they're doing, especially if they're coaching their team." So this wasn't an occasion step or two or ten out of the box, this was an all-game occurance. I believe that was what they were addressing. But since they allow us to give a warning or reminder, this tells me we have discretion before calling the T, and it is not automatic.

There is also written language from the NFHS that coaches have to learn that their requests may not always be seen or heard and that it is their responsibility to communicate clearly and get the attention of the officials.

Agreed.

But, you didn't answer my question. What would you do in that particular situation, and why?
