Rules & regulations are in place to keep order. How is adhering to policies & procedures creating an enemy?

We give him an explanation, now he's calling timeouts & standing up more than usual, walking subs to the table, etc.

For me, if you give them an inch, 8 out of 10 times they'll take a mile. Not saying be rude or degrading to them, but rules & regs are put in place for a reason.

I tend to answer questions from HC on fouls more than violations anyway. I do not have the time to explain why this wasn't a travel. Instead I'd rather go with coach, what foot did you have the pivot being? Of course they cannot answer so its the end of the conversation...

I do not have time to explain why this wasn't a backcourt violation. Instead I'd rather go with, did you think the dribbler had all 3 points across prior to passing the ball? When they look dumbfounded, you'll see it on film coach.

I find it tough to teach rules classes during the course of the game! But I always offer to shoot them any rule via email.

We can discuss fouls & no calls all day, as that is a judgement call & they have a right to know what I saw or (God forbid) thought I saw.
Most times, you explain & they have something else to say. I can live with that from the coach, its his job. But no back & forth whatsoever with ACs or players.
