Thats why teams that play us turn the ball over 21 times per game and average more than two 5sec. violations per game.
You actually think it's the yelling that's causing the turnovers? As a PLAYER, some idiot defender yelling "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" at me made me laugh, not turn the ball over.

I'm quite sure good hands, quick feet, and discipline have more to do with the turnovers than "voice-induced panic", unless you are playing in a league where all your opponents lack mental toughness.

But back to the OP. I would tell your player directly on the spot to knock it off and then I would inform you, the coach. Continued counting would lead to a direct T to the perpertrator.

It's not because you're a coach.

It's because you're a coach, who comes asking for clarification, then gets that clarification and not liking the answer, then saying that we, the officials, are being egotistic because you don't like our answer, then going even further and questioning our officiating knowledge even though you don't know a damn thing about us.

So, yes, there's some negativity here, but not because you're a coach. It's because you're a troll. Now be gone, troll.

Last night I had a kid behind me in the stands who was counting aloud my silent 10-count during free throws. He was definitely watching my hand, and quietly counting each signal. Kinda odd.

How about girls always yelling "BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL" on every inbound play they're defending? That drives me nuts. When I know they're going to do it, before I hand the ball over to the inbounder, I tell the defender, "You don't have to yell BALL BALL BALL. We already know it's a ball." They yell it anyway.

Having been on both side, coaching and officiating, I can tell that here that coach, you missed the..You came to an officiating board to ask a question. You got an answer then you proceeded to defend your actions. That should be for a coaching board. You are not going to win an argument about officiating as a coach on a officials board.

I coach now and check this board out daily because its helpful and entertaining. I add now and then, and occasionally ask questions. But never am I going to argue about something as silly as "communicating" on the court when no one really cares. You made it a big deal out of nothing, so the sarcastic nature of officiating came out.

You would think that refs would want coaches to be more informed about rules coverage areas, ect. The more a coach knows the less he complains and if there is a dialog it can be an intelligent one. Believe me, I know how the business works being an Umpire. At meetings and post game watering holes some umps are so proud of tossing a coach, removing a fan, calling a strike to get the last out in order to get out of there. The old ump saying "When in doubt...out." Some guys just don't get it and like the stage.

I'll accept that as true.

Then, since all (here) agree that the count is unsporting, I think you have to stop teaching it.

That was custom at the school i took over for when i first started coaching girls. I knocked that off because I just did not want to hear it. Now with the boys..its just normal basketball talk with the yelling of "Dead Dead Dead" when the offensive player picks up his dribble

A good official can have a productive dialog with a coach. My teams are known for talking the entire game. We play an aggressive full court game where we attemp to get our opponents to rush. We trap and are all over the court. We say "shot" everytime. We say "I've got ball." We say I've got help. In traps we yell "Bury, Bury, Bury." (If youve ever played the game you understand the difference between a silent trap and a loud trap). On rebounds we yell ball. We huddle at every opportunity and never talk to officials. This year my team has recieved two technicals. One for hanging on the rim..ref was correct. The other was reaching over the line twice (once touching the ball...this is bound to happen because we chart 5 second calls and average over two per game.


Coach:

No one has thrown his ego around in this thread yet, but now I will. JurRef as quoted chapter and verse for you and very accurately described why coaches have their players do what you have your players do. We officials are not stupid, we are far wiser about the horse manure some coaches try to throw on us in the name of gamemanship and then get mad when we correctly do our job and stop the nonsense you are trying to impose upon this great game.

AS I stated earlier, after having a respectful conversation with the ref I had no problem telling my guys to stop.

Sounds like a total team effort with the vocal approach.

You probably already do this, get your bench in unison to give the wrong countdown when your opponent is in a last second shot situation. You know, 5,4,3,2,1 when there is really ten seconds or so left.

Here's another one, keep pulling your opponents jersey out when the officials aren't looking, and maybe they'll be asked to leave the game. I have a ton of 'em, but you probably already use these and ones I've never heard of.

I'll say this, if you were my son's coach and I heard this practice, you'd be down one player.

Your countdown besides being illegal, is unethical.

This entire post is a non sequitur, coach. Additionally, adding the gratuitous shot at basketball officials because of your limited experience with baseball is counter-productive.

There you go...throw your weight around. Give me a break. It's funny how short some guys get when the "opposition" asks a question. Yes JurRef gave me an explanation and I am certainly thankful for it. Perhaps I missed a bit of playful sarcasm when he said Bad, Bad, ref. So JurRef: Thank you. But I shouldn't feel like a shark in the water when I'm simply asking a simple question in order to become more knowledgable.

I think it might be time to hijack the thread.

How 'bout them Red Sox!
