Coach on the court. What is your call?

The coaches need to understand that they have to communicate their request from within the confines of the coaching box. Perhaps they could learn to have their players echo the request.

Perhaps my problem is I've never actually seen a coach come onto the court so far. Here, they just get louder, or closer along the sideline, to get me to hear them.

Amen to getting the players to echo, that stopped when they got the ability to request it themselves.

For the record, are you saying that you would issue a flagrant technical foul directly to the head coach?

SITUATION 12: Team B has just scored to go up by three points with time running out in the fourth quarter. Player A1 inbounds the ball to A2 close to the sideline of Team B's bench. A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding. Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING: B7 shall be charged with two technical fouls and ejected. One technical foul is assessed for entering the court without permission and one for unsporting conduct. Any member of Team A may shoot the four free throws for the technical fouls. The results of these free throws will determine if the game is over or going into overtime. COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)

Does this mean the potential for a 7 point play? The 3 goes in, a bench players comes onto the court (T #1) and takes out the shooter (T #2). Let's just hope the lead doesn't have a rebounding foul underneath while in the double bonus.

I've had the parent on the floor situation (and didn't whack him) and would much prefer that situation to this one.

In my case, being hearing-impaired, I tell the coaches that if I'm in front of your bench and I don't hear you requesting time out, feel free to come onto the court to tap me on the shoulder and say "time-out". But if they come on for any other reason, automatic T from me. I will not let them abuse that little bit o' freedom.

EDIT: corrected.

Perhaps this is why you aren't listening to the veteran officials on this forum.

As you this forum is all text, so it was clearly not intended in that manner.
