How to handle an assistant coach.
MTD, Jr., and I had a girls' Jr. H.S. doubleheader (7th grade game followed by the 8th grade game) last night.

Late in the third quarter V1 fouled H1 in the act of shooting, and MTD, Jr., made the call from the T. He reported the foul while I observed the players and made the switch from old L to new T. Before we could start shooting the free throws, V-HC moved out of her coaching box to a spot in front of the Table and started complaining to me about the officaiting (so what else is new, ). I politely told her that she had to return to her coaching box and then moved into my T position for the free throws. Immediately her assistant coach yelled: "She is in her coaching box." I gave MTD, Jr., the stop sign and moved toward the division line and told V-HC that we did not want to hear anymore from her assistant coach. V-HC immediately replied: "That was me talking." To which I replied: "Coach, I know it was your assistant coach because she referred to you in the third person."

After the game, the H-AD, who is also the 8th grade English teacher, runs the clock for both games, came into the dressing room with water and told us that he loved my reference to the assistant coach talking about the head coach in the third person.

MTD, Sr.

I also love when the yell about a call and when you look at or address them they say they were talking to themselves. You can talk to yourself...just do it so I can't hear it!

Doesn't the calling official stay at the table? Or do you guys do it differently locally?

Not when you're using MOMM (Modified Old Man mechanics) which is a technique allowed when you get AARP membership

That's ZM point, though asked incorrectly. 2-man mechanics the calling official on shooting fouls should be the trail on the free throws.

Again, this is not NFHS mechanics. If the T calls a shooting foul, the T stays the trail tableside. This was changed last season. I guess the question is whether your state or association(s) went along with this change.

IAABO has not made this change. I don't know if Ohio is an IAABO state or not.

Too funny, I tried "Something" like that last nite. As we played (and beat the 3rd ranked team in the sate I might add) my wife was losing her voice. She was yelling for a TO but the official couldn't hear her. Since I actually do a GREAT imitation of her thick southern accent, I yelled for a TO and actually got the officials attention. He granted the TO then realized it was I who he heard ask for the TO and smiled. He came over for the "first horn" signal and told me my imitation was spot on!

Ohio is not an "IAABO state," though we have boards here. OHSAA uses approved NFHS mechanics.

No. The HC was Elmo. Elmo always speaks of Elmo in the third person.
