What Not to Do/Say!

At this point, I would sit because I would have earned a T for letting the official know

1. He doesnt know the rules about TC fouls
2. He doesn't know the rules about the Coaches box and I am not obligated to sit (yet)
3. He CANNOT TELL me how to do my job
4. He has no right to tell me what to do when he clearly has no idea what he's doing.

Pretty tame coaches really. I expect this at the frosh/soph level and sometimes JV. But not varsity.
