Coach, I honestly don't see this as that big of an issue. I've only seen it called one time in the past 5 years. If discipline exists, it shouldn't be a problem. If the players understand that they can't do it, period, it shouldn't be a problem. Players understand that they can't curse an official. When it happens, the plkayer is normally in a highly emotional state and simsply reacts. There's nothing intense, emotional or highly charged about warming up.

It's a question of discipline. "Guys, dunk in pregame and you won't play tonight." I bet that message gets through loud and clear. Like I said coach, I ain't buying it.

If you wanna give him some slack, fine, but don't tell him you're going to do it. You've just opened yourself up to all kinds of problems. You'd be better off to leave it alone. It's his responsibility to make sure he's players don't dunk. He didn't. Sit down.

It won't happen to him again.

Tony, you hit it right on the head!
I didn't need to tell him that I would give him some "slack" on the seatbelt rule. Just do it.

We can equate this to the Coaches Box...if we are going to give a Coach some "slack" on his 6 foot Box, as I'm sure many of us do, we don't tell him before the game we will...we just do it.

Of course if a Coach wants to abuse his privledged "slack" that we have bestowed upon him...so be it...we have ways to tighten up the so called "slack" very easily.

1. Tony, I have never said that we are not accountable for the conduct of personnel on our benches. It's just that normally bench personnel are actually located on the bench (or should be), with the obvious exception of warm-ups, when they are on the court. That also means they are in close proximity to me. I do not always stand right over my players in warm-ups, nor do many head coaches. I observe parts of their warm-up, and even step in and say something when I should.

2. This is the only, repeat, ONLY bench personnel T that I do not think should result in a seatbelt of the coach. and I think it could be fixed with a simple rule change, but the attitudes of the refs appear to be that we are to blame for all player acts during warm-ups.

3. And no, I don't think I would have a significant problem with this, but one violation is a problem with the way the rule is written. But there are wierd things that go on in teenagers minds, and that is who we are talking about here. They do lots of things I cannot explain or predict, let alone control. and they do them with full knowledge that they are wrong and carry a penalty.

Hawk, I agree with you that I don't like this rule. Matter of fact I don't like to put a seatbelt on the coach for an indirect of any kind. However, come Monday you can make them pay for it and hopefully they won't do THAT again.

I really love dunks. When I go to a game I like to see this pregame-exibition-dunk-contest.

Slam it boys.

We don't care if we catch a T.

You can get injured???????????????

Yeah right!

Dunking is the most spectaculair part of basketball it is an essential part of the game. It is what most people like to see most of all moves.

To make a good prefomance you have to go over the skills in your warm up. Otherwise you can get injured!

If you don't wanna dunk!
Go and play chess.

If the basket breaks?
It is not build right

If a ref starts with a T without warning?
He is a joke!

Sigh!

Another coach who's players maybe can dunk,but probably don't know how to pass the ball,dribble or run an offense.Do you work on your players dancing,too,Coach?That's another highly skilled part of the game.Keep working on the important parts of the game,coach.Maybe one day,we'll be seeing your players lose a World's Championship,too.

PS-leave the officiating to people that know what they're doing and go find a coach's or fan's board.You can spend all the time that you want there telling everybody what idiots the officials are.

Are you Mark Cuban in disguise??? If you truely are a coach you are a shame to the game of basketball. IMO w/ a post like this. Quit coaching, Pay your twenty bucks and go watch an NBA game where there will be 35 dunks no defense and 10 players who could careless if they win until March. (no disrespect to the unbelievably talented NBA refs that visit this board)

[coach2]

Haha thats a good one.

You are probaly right coaches should not give their opinion here because in the first place they are no refs, so what do they know?

In the second place they can't teach basketball as well!

Guess communication is your strongest point?

[MN 3 Sport Ref]

The problem is the fact that we bust our a$$es to give the kids on the floor a fair shake, and to become better officials (99% of us anyways) and it is coaches like you who teach fans, players, commentators, etc.. to think that it is acceptable to berate and blame officials when the fact is you lost the game because you shot 12% from the field or got outrebounded 35 to 12. Or maybe it is because you "know" we missed that call that you were 45 feet away from and had no angle on anyways.

Like JR said there are plenty of fan boards where you will fit in just fine!!!

Actually,we look forward to some of the thoughts that coaches post here.We have some real knowledgeable guys that contribute to this forum with their ideas and thoughts.

We don't consider trolls like yourself as "coaches",to be quite honest.I have too much respect for some of the "coaches" that do post here to give you the same appellation. Maybe "bench babysitters","fans in disguise",etc would be more appropriate. It certainly is hard to give attach any credibility to people like yourself.

Guess i don't make many friends here but I am shocked of the hostility. I know my English is not correct but that Ã*s because I never write it.

I say it is foolish to forbid dunking for a game.

You don't have to agree but I think you don't have to panic.

But I do think you have to come up with better arguments than getting injured, breaking the glass or spend the time on passing drills.

I am sorry I probaly don't join your club, but isn't it nice to hear another sound?

If myy style is too hostile please let me know, i will stop swearing and cursing.
