Technical or Warning

[Adam]

And when she asks why she got a T (because she will), just say it's because she hurt your feelings.

Seriously, this is a T every time.

Hmm, this brings up something a coach said to me the other night in a girls freshman game.

Coach was yelling across the floor at my partner "Foul! Travel! Foul!"

When the ball was dead, I went to the coach and said, "Coach, we're willing answer questions but yelling across the floor at us and demanding calls is not appropriate."

He slapped me on the back and said, "No problem. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." and walked away smirking.

I wish I had been carrying Mark Padgett around in my hip pocket for a clever comeback. Alas, I didn't have one.

I would have probably rolled my eyes at that one and moved on.

WHAP! No brainer to me. Pretty much anytime a coach tries to show up an official, especially in front of the kids, they are going to get whacked.

Oh yeah I'm serving T on this one. It's so easy after the fact isn't it?

[chartrusepengui]

No Brainer WHACK!

Had my first T of the season last night. GV game. Visiting HC had been warned already in the game for being out of the box complaining. I call a foul as Trail early in the 4th quarter on one of his girls who is trying to strip the ball from the home's point guard out front. After I report, he is standing there with his arms out to the side and starts chirping (He acted like a child all night...stomping around and trying to officiate for us). I give him the stop sign and tell him I've heard enough and the hand gestures need to stop. He starts to say something else and I keep my hand up, so he goes to sit down, but as he sits down he gives me the "wave off". Tweet....whack.

Didn't hear anything else the rest of the game.

This one would not have gotten a T from me, but I most certainly would have followed up as he walked away. A simple comment like "No one's feelings are hurt, Coach. Just trying to make sure everyone here behaves in a professional manner."

If he's too thick to get it at that point, there will probably end up being a T somewhere later in the game.

"coach, there's nothing you could say that would hurt my feelings. however, if you keep acting like a middle school coach you'll get a Technical!"

" I hope not coach, because it's my last one."

How about "My feelings aren't hurt, but with you doing so much reffing I was wondering who was doing your coaching."

"Coach - let's trade places. You come out here and call the game and I'll sit on the bench and act like a jacka$$."

I'm on the "few and far between technicals" side of the officiating spectrum, but this situation would have led to the quickest, easiest, and most enthusiastic technical foul of my career.
