What should happen?

Around here touching coaches/players is not approved & patting the HC (who just lost his box) on the head is highly disrespectful, IMO.

Plus if we stick a coach, our partner informs them that they have lost that privelige. It looks bad for the same official to "stick & sit" the coach.

Another excellent point, if you T a coach report the T and get the heck out of there and you avoid all of this! Under no circumstances would I stick around in that situation and tell him anything let alone touch him - he knows what he got popped for there is nothing to stay and explain to him...

Did the ref hurt his hand when he patted such a sharply pointed object?
