After the Coach Technical

Speaking to a friend of mine who attended the CCA camp in Las Vegas. He told me that one of the NBA guys who was doing the film break down on his game told him that "Following a TF issued to a coach that the next foul or violation should be on that coach's team". He stated that to often the next several calls following a TF favor the team whose coach was sanctioned and that leaves the opposing coach questioning if he should get a TF to restore balance.

Have any of you ever been instructed likewise.

OMG no.

Seems like classic "leave it" advice.

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?

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

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.

I'm sure there was more said in the beginning or at the end of what was posted here

At one time I subscribed to this idea.

But the real meaning is that the calling official needs to be ready to make the next tough call even if it goes against the coach that recieved the T. Have the intestinal fortitude to keep calling the game that is in front of you. Sometimes the next foul is in your lap and it goes against the team that just got T'd. Get it right and move on.

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.
