Angry Coach at Halftime

[beachbum]

I am a newer guy, but my interpretation of the rules is that we react and administer prenatys to actions that are directed at us IN PERSON. confrontations in hallways during half time or on the court would be delt with.

Having an obviously irate coach, yelling at his players at half time with words that berate officials is not direct confrontation. this may just be his way of motivating the players, be it good or bad. Some coaches like to play up that everyone is "against us", so get out there and battle back".

I would be cognizant of his demeanor as we begin play for the second half. does he seem calm and into coaching his team? Is he questioning officials? Is he confrontational with his every movement?

If everything is copasetic, I would just do my job and move on. If, howerver, he starts smarting off, i would "T" him.

We are suppose to be the voice of reason.

then I would tell the assignor of the problem with the walls, and let them deal with a change.
