After reading everyone's views, I have one question....when the coach is talking everytime down the floor, do you use the stop sign to slow him down, then talk at a time out?

Come up slow as trail and have a word with him.

Have an IW in front of his bench and have a quick word.

Find a reason to get in front of him to talk to him.

I don't think the stop sign will ever work in a case where a short chat wouldn't work. I do think there are times when a short chat works that a stop sign will explode in your face.

My opinion: avoid the stop sign unless your leadership wants you to use it.

After listening to a coach call out " three seconds" about 25 times, (BJV) at an opportune time I said "coach, if all i watch for out there is three seconds then I'm going to miss other plays or fouls, now sit down and coach your team"he did shut up, but i wasn't sure if i should have said anything.

One official I work with would tell them that what they are doing is unsportman like conduct and that was their warning.

what do all of the pros say????
How about telling him

Coach when you complain on every call you lose all credibility. If you want me to listen to you you need to pick and chose your battles...

It works some times. Other times you just have to tell her you have hear enough.
