I violated rule #1.....not THAT rule #1

[Jesse James]

Judtech,

In your coaching position, I wouldn't support your questioning of judgement calls, or your methods in general. But I will agree that when a crew at the varsity level either sets aside a rule, or doesn't know a rule, that someone from the coaching staff ought to be able to make that known to them--and if it has to be an example, so-be-it.

In a state without assignors, how else are you going to make that point?

Absolutely! Just as long as that someone is THE HEAD COACH

I agree, but if the officials start addressing the AC, there's nothing wrong with him responding. Whether the AC can make these points is really up to the officials on the game, not the officials on the board.

Good point! That's why I generally ask the HC, "I know he (AC) isnt speaking to me... IS HE?"
99% of the time I get, "Bobby I'll ask the questions around here!"

By following whatever protocol that state has set up to deal with complaints about officials? All states have them afaik.

Well, in at least one, he's money ahead to do what he did.

Well, another one that thinks Judtech's actions were OK.

And another one I don't have to discuss it with any further either except to repeat that it's despicable imo.

There's no minimum height requirement.

Isn't it easier in states without assigners? To make your point, have the AD scratch the official and never hire him, her or them again.

That's fine at home. There's always the road, and while it's not a coach's problem, the other hundreds of schools in the state where the crew may screw up the rule otherwise.

OK fair point on home vs. away but then how many officials are really going to be looking to take constructive criticism from a coach during a game? Does not seem to be very effective in my view.

Please. While it's no guarantee, I'd hope some of those crew members would go home and read their case book when he was adamant about where his players could stand on the technical free throws.

How many of them would if he never said a peep?

And how many more of them would if he approached it in a less confrontational manner?
