Coach has a "bad back"
Happened to me a few days ago:
9th grade boys game. Home team coach is in "question every call" mode, and I eventually whacked him (maybe a bit prematurely, but I'm sure he would've gotten one eventually anyway). My partner explains to him the seatbelt rule, and this coach then informs my partner that he can't sit down, because he has a bad back and sitting is difficult for him. How would you handle this situation: a) "Coach, the rules now require you to be seated, and they make no allowance for your back injury." b) "Ok, coach, in that case you can remain standing, but you must stand at the end of your bench and not be walking back and forth in the coaching box" c) " ". Move on with the game, whack him again, if/when he's up walking around. d) "Coach, you should've considered that before you actions necessitated the techincal foul" Ok, probably not D, except in my head. A couple of additional pieces of information that you may wish to take into consideration: 1) This was in the first half of a 9A/9B doubleheader. This coach was the coach for both the 9A team and the 9B team. 2) There were no assistant coaches for this coach's team. 3) Home team was up by about 15 points when I whacked him, and they ended up winning by almost 40 points.
