V HC starts complaining but I don't make out what he is saying. I'm confused as his player is shooting 2 free throws. After 1st free throw V HC complains again. His complaint is that there wasn't 2 whistles on the foul. He is upset because the Lead didn't have a whistle.

Was that a college coach? You said you went table side, thats not a NFHS mech. yet!

Calling official goes tableside in NFHS 3-person mechanics. Has now for 3-4 years. So you're right, I don't understand why the noncalling official would unless it was either a college game or his state ignores NFHS mechanics.

I wonder if they'll send us opposite again in another year or two. Personally, I like going tableside. I can talk to coaches rather than having them try to talk by screaming across the floor.

That would be a step backward in my opinion. I like going tableside also.

I agree, but I think Rich is right to wonder. NCAA went table side first, then NFHS followed. NCAA just switched back saying too much talking was going on. NFHS may follow again.

Which is why they made it so. Made sense to me.

I like being table side as well. you know what you called and why you called it. Who better to talk for the coach if indeed he has a QUESTION. If there is too much talking going on, we have a tool that will quiet them down. WE, must control our environment, not the coach. Sometimes that is more difficult than others.
