After the Coach Technical

[Berkut]

I would say that "Following a TF issued to a coach that the next foul or violation should be on whichever team commites the next foul or violation".

Of course, I am just a high school basketball official, so take that with a grain of salt.

This is one of those all-too frequent occasions at camp where you smile, nod your head, say "okay" and throw the advice in the trash when you walk out of the gym.

I can see the point but the advice seems misguided.

Might be giving coaches a little too much credit too. You think they are that perceptive and deeply analytical in the heat of a game? Doubtful.

I can see telling some one to make sure and not let that T affect your calls afterwards, but not a blanket statement like that. Good grief.
If you're worried about the other coach, why aren't you worried about the first coach thinking you're out to get him?

[Mark Padgett]

Man, I would love to know which NBA ref it was who said that. Maybe the NBA would like to know, too.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I know that I always hope that the next foul or violation that I call after whacking a coach is on his team, but more often than not, the gods of basketball seem to have me call a foul or violation on the opponents of the coach whom I have just whacked.

If by "perceptive and deeply analytical" you mean "paranoid", then , yes, I think that coaches are that way.

Words of wisdom. Not bad for just you're fifty-third post.

I've heard a similar philosophy from a respected college D1 guy. His take was, after giving a coach T, make sure the next whistle on the other team is a good one. If your next whistle is a "cheap" one, then the coach thinks, "That's good. I bought that one."

But that's an order of magnitude less controversial than the one presented here.

Hey - here's an idea. Why not make sure all your whistles are good ones and not "cheap" ones? Naaah - that would never work.

So all your whistles have been good? Never a lapse in judgement or concentration?

Yes. Although I did have one once that had a little chip on the side, but I filed it down and then it worked just fine.

Here's an idea, why not just participate in the conversation without being a sarcastic ***? Hey, that just might work!
