Handling Coaches After T

This also may be a check your local listings situation, as the way I stated earlier is the one our local leadership has recommended, so I'm going to abide by their wishes.

So you are saying if a coach calls me a MF, your local association says it is OK for you to skip over there and listen to what else he has to say? BOOOING, my BS flag just went up.

No, that is not what I'm saying. Nowhere was a MF or something similar talked about in my example. Let me be clear, if I T a coach, and he drops anything like a MF while I'm reporting or walking away, I'm the one who will be issuing the T & the accompanying ejection.

But if it's a situation more like the ones I've had before, instead of turning my back like what works for you, I'd rather administer the FTs or throw-in and let one of my partners seatbelt him and trust them to T & eject should the coach remain out of control. As long as we pre-game the situation so everyone is on the same page, I do not see my partner going over there as undermining me. Last time I was the person going over there, I listened to him rant for a few seconds, told the coach he crossed the line and he needed to remain seated. That's what we pre-gamed, so that's what I did.
