My First T!!!

[JRutledge]

BigWhistle,

I think you need to realize that officials that I know do not worry about coaches unless they are bothering them. Or at least the accomplished ones. If coaches are coaching and talking to their kids, they can stand anywhere as far as I am concerned. But the minute they start yelling at me and complaining about things I am doing and getting my attention, we have a problem. Then and only then did I know any official make a real issue out of the coaching box. To me Ts are a weapon that need to be used carefully. Not to be used everytime a slight infraction is violated. Or at best, not obvious to everyone in the gym.

Coaches have a job to do, officials have a job to do. I cannot do my job if I am looking at the coach all day and all night. And when they do step out of the box, we encourage them to get back.

Not a big deal from where I am standing.

Peace
