T or not to T
 

GV 2 whistle. A couple mediocre teams. No problems so far and this coach has only been moderately whining. A1 is fouled on the floor at the block bench side, my side as T. I have it all the way. I turn around to report and the coach is a couple feet onto the floor and says "That is the fifth time she had got hammered. I would hate for her to get hurt. I would really, really hate it."

And you then...

I will post results in a while.

Finish reporting the foul and get the game going.

It might be a stop sign. I might give him a look, but as it is described here I personally don't have a T.

"Coach, if you have a question, I'll answer it, but you need to remain in the coaching box."

reply with "i would really hate it too" jk i wouldnt



"I understand coach..." then go about my business...no T

manage the game
 

get him back in the box, sounds like he is talking in a calm manner, no need to add stuff to the game by giving him a T. We have to have thicker skin than that. If he is on the floor waving his arms and yelling, by all means pop him. A good communicator can and will diffuse this situation very easily.

MHO no need for a T, ask him to get back in the box firm but non threatening way.

This automatically gets "Coach, I need you stay in your box ("please" is optional) or if I'm ornery and/or he's a jacka$$ my famous mechanic where I look at him, then down at his feet on the court, and then back up at him (throwing up is optional). :cool:

As everyone else has said, the first thing is to get him back to the coaches box, then report your foul. Then ask if there is a question that you can answer for him. Almost sounds like he wants the other team to hear him, but then again he maybe fishing for an intentional foul.

What happened next, biggravy?

Sounds like he's asking for a sub for an injured player. :p

That's an easy one to ignore. It isn't a question, he's venting. Move on.

"If she's that delicate coach, maybe you should take her out." :rolleyes:

You may address the coaching box, but this is an innocuous statement.

Ouch...I missed the fact the coach was on the floor. Agree, get him back and then report the foul.

As they'd say in Facebook, "Amesman likes this." A lot.

If he were in the coaching box, I would warn him but since he WAS NOT in the coaching box and WAS out on the playing court: WHACK!!!
