Technical Fouls ???
Top Reasons To Not Give A Technical Foul
You can address a coach before it becomes a problem. A quiet word can go a long way in preventing a technical foul. When coaches complain, ask yourself, is the call questionable, is the call wrong. If they have a legitimate gripe, then allow them some latitude. Be courteous. Do not argue. Be firm and fair If you know a coach is upset then move away from him or her, even if it means that you and your partner are not switching or rotating properly. Warnings can be very effective in preventing situations from escalating. Don't tolerate a lot before a warning. Lend a reasonable ear. Coaches like to be heard. If you ignore them then they become more frustrated and are more likely to lose control. If an assistant is out of line, then you can speak to the head coach and ask them to help you out. If a player is out of line then let the coach know. Tell them you've warned their player. That way if you do give a technical foul, then the coach isn't surprised. Most good coaches will speak to the player first. If you have had a rough day and know your fuse is short, keep that in mind before you do anything rash. Ask yourself, does the situation come under one of the top reasons to give a technical foul. If necessary, give an initial strong warning. Let your partner know about the warning. Top Reasons To Give A Technical Foul There are many different factors to consider when deciding to give a technical foul. Generally, there are three areas of coach's behavior that need attention: when a coach makes it personal, when a coach draws attention to himself or herself, and when a coach's complaints are persistent. Some technical fouls are easy. They are black and white situations that leave little room for negotiation: Using profanity or language that is abusive, vulgar, or obscene. A coach questions your integrity. Inciting an undesirable crowd reaction. A coach is embarrassing an official. A coach or player has been warned and has not heeded the warning. Leaving the confines of the coaching box and complaining. A coach demonstrates displeasure with your partner and their back is turned. Other technical fouls are not as black and white. In some situations, a warning may be appropriate before the technical foul is given: A coach or player continually demonstrates signals or asks for calls. If they have interfered with the game or your concentration, then they have usually gone too far. If giving a technical will help give structure back to the game and if it will have a calming effect on things. Top Ways To Give A Technical Foul Calling a technical foul should be no different then calling any other foul. It is simply a rule that requires a penalty. Maintain a calm attitude, have poise and presence. Don’t personalize it. Don't embarrass the coach by being demonstrative. Take your time. Don’t over react. Always sound the whistle and stop the clock with a foul signal. Signal the technical foul. Take a deep breath to calm yourself. Proceed to the reporting area, report the technical foul clearly to the table, and leave the area. Never look at a coach when you give a technical foul. Confer with your partner. If the technical foul is charged to the head coach or bench personnel, have your partner inform the coach of the loss of the coaching box. Explanations, it needed should be done by partner. When asked, always explain technical fouls on players to coaches. Proceed with the administration of the penalty. After technical fouls, put the ball in play immediately. The calling official may want to stay away from the coach for a few minutes, even if it means not making a switch, or making an unneeded switch, after the administration of the technical foul penalty has been completed. Because a coach has been penalized with a technical foul does not mean that the coach is allowed rebuttal time. Make them earn the second technical foul. Don't be reluctant to give the second technical foul if it is warranted. Original Source: The Greater Philadelphia Basketball Official's Association
