that was incidental contact, coach. No advantage gained.

And if he doesn't accept that and continues to question you, deal with it.

I had a coach that was a piece of work all night last night. First thing he tells me is that it's a point of emphasis to call hand-checking. He wouldn't know a hand-check it if bit him in the backside. Completely incidental contact -- mainly he was complaining because the other team was trapping and pressing and they couldn't beat it.

Then he starts a sentence with, "My theory is that it's a foul...." and I couldn't help it -- I was laughing as I walked away.

To your credit, you restrained yourself and didn't respond with "My theory is that you're full of sh!t".

He gave a two handed wave to my back, I was told after the game. My partner was restrained himself -- he would've whacked him for it, but we were under two minutes and we both were trying to get done and get out by that point. I was fine with that.

Of course we called 5 fouls on this guy's team in the last 2 minutes -- down over 20 they decided to foul to stop the clock.

Anne Elk also had a theory.

That single refernece is the best description I have seen yet about coaches and their knowledge of the rules. I laughed out loud when I read your comment.

Wasn't this game last week and were you my partner? (I could have posted EXACTLY that same post). Only difference, is that he shut up after halftime (perhaps because the other team pulled off the press...but still crushed them)

The 'camp speak' I am familiar with is "Hot Stove"
The defender gets 1 "Hot Stove" touch and then hands off.
Unfortunately, my wife has apparently found those camp notes and feels the same should apply at home!!! (Ty I'll be here all week and Reno and the 20th, be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses)
2 Hands is automatic whistle. I dont' like calling it 35' from the basket when a player is just standing there, but I don't write the rules, (Jur Ref would say I don't read them very much either!) I just enforce em!

If you are going to be in Reno, you'll have a partner who overreads the rules, so you should be all set.
