Last rec league I played in was back in the 90's. I was called for a block on a fast break. (I hadn't bothered to run down on offense) I sort of smirked but didn't make a show or anything. I was standing by the referee during the FT's and subs and asked it it was a block b/c I moved. He said Yes. I said but wouldn't moving have required effort on my part. He said yes. I said Have I done ANYTHING in this game to signify that I would make ANY extra effort when standing is soooo much easier? Then I walked away smiling thinking I had made a funny. I got T'd. The other official thought it was funny!:D

Like I said, I'm fine with players pointing once the I've blown my whislte, they do it all the time. But when I point the other way, they should just start moving into defensive position rather than argue it with me.

I do, however, get annoyed when, during play, a player points to the line (to indicate the opponent stepped OOB) or makes a traveling signal. He may as well start counting out loud for me. I'll take less of this than "traveling" from the coach.

I agree....but, I've seen coaches wander from the coaching box all the way down the end line. This being wreck league, that scenario is very possible.

Moot point, though, now that commcoach explained himself. :)

Sorry for the misscommunication. I coach and play, but not at the same time. I coach young kids, and this particular situation happened while I was the player.

I'll try to curb the point and stuff next time. Thanks for the input.

Maybe there is an official inside your player/coach's body just screaming to get out.:cool:

True, but if that was the case, I wouldn't be talking to him about pointing. If he's out of the box that far and trying to influence my calls.... Let's just say he won't have to worry about the boundaries of the coaching box the rest of the game.

Yeah, I know. I wasn't trying to be confrontational about any of it. I wasn't really ticked off about the "T" either. It was what it was, I didn't take it as any big deal and just kept playing the game, and eliminated interaction with that official!:D
