During a recent game, I called a ten second violation. The coach was upset [his team would go on to record one point in the 2nd half] and said, "I didn't see your count." He would have to have been blind to not see the visible count. A couple minutes later, while his team was on defense, he started "1001...1002". Tweet. The only explanation I gave was to my partner.

This is a great example of communication, IMO. Had "Mr Arithamtic" asked for an explaination, I would have been turning the sarcasm filter on high!! Probably ending on either "Seriously!?" or "Coach, the problem is our count starts at 0 and apparently yours starts at 1000!!" (ok maybe not THAT one) As for the foul rotation you asked about earlier, I am using 3 person mechanics. You did pique my interest, b/c I couldn't give you a manual reference for the "T". It apparently falls in the, everywhere I work does it that way so it must be correct. It's just what I have been told from day one. I'll have to dust off the manual and see what that says. Geez, next you will tell me we are supposed to go back and fourth on the endline!! |

LOL, the mechanic doesn't differentiate between Ts and regular fouls, IMS. We're an IAABO state, and just went opposite last year for all fouls. When we were table side, we stayed table side on Ts. The option was there to go opposite if the situation was particularly volatile, but I never used it.
Actually, whether the partner explains a call to a coach has no bearing on JR's opinion of his possession or lack of possession of huevos. Honestly, anything more than "you'll have to ask him when he gets a chance to get over here" is overstepping, IMO. However, as always, when in Rome. Just don't use the stop sign.

Judtech- "Now when my partner goes to the coach he can tell them what happened." Texas Aggie- "informs the partner so that he can go talk with the coach and explain if needed and if possible." If YOU make the call, then YOU should be the ONLY one explaining the call if a coach asks for an explanation. Not your partner. Not ever. And if you go back and read the posts in this thread, you'll find that opinion is unanimous from all of the other responding posters. Again, your partner should never be discussing your call with a coach. Ever! That is terrible advice from both you and Texas Aggie. And I'm sureashell not the only one telling both of you that. You seem to have real problems comprehending what people are trying to tell you. |

And also in everybody else's opinion except for Judtech and Texas Aggie......

Yes. He said, "You have lost your coaching box privileges and have to sit down now."

What there seems to be is a difference of norms in different areas. In the college or high school games called in this area, there isnt the sensitivity to discussing calls (appropriately) with coaches. Case in point: In a game tonite B50 drives to the basket and gets blocked by W44. Secondary defender W12 pushes B50 while in the air. Lead official comes out with a foul on W12. As we are on the other end, I am now standing next to W's coach. He is insistent that "it was all ball". I tell the coach "You are right 44 had a nice block, however, 12 was underneath and called for the push". According to you this is inappropriate b/c I am discussing my partners call. I should have said "coach, if you don't like it discuss it with them" According to the lead who made the call, who also happens to be one of the local assignors, pointed that situation out to the 3 'newbies' as a good example of a crew working together and diffusing a situation by calming down a coach. We teach our crews to trust each other. But heaven help you after the game if syou sell a fellow official out to a coach! SNAQmasterflash: Yeah, if it is a player "T" then we usually stay table side. If it is a coach "T" we usually send them opposite. That way if the coach needs to have an early exit, there will be another official right there to do the honors. The thought process is that it avoids the perception that a particular official is "out to get" a coach. That's not to say the calling official on the other side of the floor wont come toss the coach!!!! |

I'm still trying to figure out why any official needs to "explain" or "tell" anything to a coach after that coach has received a Technical.

The real answer is so the coach knows the type and nature of the foul. Delay of game, behaviour, reporting error and so that the coach knows what exactly to avoid in the future. They're only coaches for gawd sakes, if you don't teach them who will :P
