Coach not knowing the rule.
Girl JV game. Home inbounding ball, teammate A catches throw-in while in the air and goes into BC. Visiting coach wanted BC violation. Next possession, I explain the rule to him. Coach says, "your wrong". Okay. Wish I hadn't forgot my rule book, I would have shown it to him after the game. Would anybody take their rule book and show it to coach during halftime?

No other problems with coach during the game though.

I would not show a coach a rulebook at half time, after the game, before the game, or over coffee the next day.

I would not show him in the box, I would not show him with the fox. I would not show him here or there, I would not show him anywhere.

No upside, plenty of downside.

I am always kind of bemused at some officials need to not only be right, but to make sure someone else doesn't think they are wrong. Who cares if he thinks you are wrong?

I wouldn't actively seek out a coach and show him a rule in the book.

I wouldn't show the Coach the Rules Book because he will definitely have problems with the longer words (anything with two or more syllables). But I would show him the picture book of rules (Illustrated Rules Book). Ain't I a stinker.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. is waiting for the NFHS to come out with a basketball rulebook with extra large type.

No.

Besides, it's up to girls' JV coaches not to know rules like that. It's their responsibility. That's why they're girls' JV coaches. Or boys' JV coaches, for that matter.

Funny you mention that. I had a girls JV coach insist to me tonight that a defender must be set to take a charge.

You mean I ve been wrong all this time I thought they had to be set too...

But in all reality I heard my partner in a GV game tell a coach that the reason he called a block was that his player was moving backwards... Unbelievable..

From a NBA official I know... Assume the play is legal and then make the defense prove why it wasnt.

Plenty of varsity coaches (and ALL the fans) will back him up on this one.

I made this mistake once...

I was working my first ever V wrestling meet and had to call flagrant misconduct (DQ with a big penalty) on a wrestler. The coach was disputing the deduction of team points at the table saying, "I want to see that in the book". My response was along the lines of... "I'll be happy to show you in the locker room after the meet is over, but we're not stopping the meet for something as basic as this".

After the dual, I spent 45 minutes in the locker room with him pointing to rules. Then spent another 30 minutes on the phone at home later that day repeating myself.

NEVER AGAIN.

I have done this before, but would not make a habit of it. It was a coach I knew very well and bet him a soda before after my crew had a blarge. I still have not gotten my soda.

Peace

My dad is still waiting on a steak dinner from a coach after we had a held ball followed by a player T. T was on the team that would of had the AP and the coach wanted the possession after the T and was betting that we were in the wrong.
