No T, no credibility?

Simple... Depending on where you are and who's in the building, you may want everyone to see that coach has been warned. Besides, when the other coach see's this, he knows you've addressed it.

Also, it's almost always the coaches word against yours. If the AD/Principal or even the media see's you've warned the coach for something, the coach doesn't have much leg to stand on when you send in your report. It also allows your partner to know what's happening, just in case you haven't had a chance to tell him/her. When he has a problem with the same coach, he can bypass any warnings and go straight to the business, "WHACK"!

The stop sign doesn't prove the T was warranted; all it does is show that you've publicly warned the coach. So what? If you have an assigner who doesn't believe your word over the coach's, it's not going to help.

Coach, "sure, he warned me for asking a polite question. Then, I turned around and sat down and he called a technical foul."

There's nothing on the tape that's going to prove jack sh!t.

Perception, Perception, Perception... In that order...

It doesn't matter what was said. Coach was warned for something and the entire building saw it. Whenever or whatever coach gets whacked for, everyone knows he was warned earlier.

With regards to my assigner believing me or not, I'm not too concerned about that because my game was well managed by taking care of business and going about it in an appropriate manner. I gave the Perception that coach was warned for something. I/My partner whacked coach because the Perception was that he got a warning for something he/she said/did earlier. Beside, if you whack'em without a public warning, everyone in the building is wondering why coached got whacked.

Every T in Colorado comes with a report, so the only people that really matter will get my side of the story. As for the people in the crowd, if I don't care what they think about my lack of 3 second calls, why am I going to care what they think about my technical fouls?

Whose perception are you concerned about? If it's not your assigner, it's got to be someone.

I don't worry about what everyone in the building thinks. If that's why you're doing it, I disagree with the practice even more. Some officials feel the need to be able to show on tape to their assignor they did something. And, some assignors promote this procedure. If so, you do it because you work for them.

That said, I'm not doing it to please the crowd. If the other coach is upset at that coach's antics, I can communicate that I addressed it. I just don't see how a very public admonishment is better for the in-game relationship than a verbal warning that only the coach hears. He then doesn't feel he got shown up in public, which is what we whack coaches for.
