Coach's bizarre complaint

[Nevadaref]

Yes, the coach is right. You should not be telling the coach that you are expecting a foul. That is a strategy choice which is up to him and his team. You should be aware that they MIGHT foul, but you also need to be prepared for them to play straight up defense and go for a turn-over. His thought that you were anticipating a foul has some merit.

Don't get involved in making such comments about strategy to coaches. Don't instruct or coach the kids. That's the coach's job.

You are to simply observe the action which unfolds and adjudicate what you see. That's the officials duty.
