I was not discrediting your answer.

If only it was really that easy.

One reason why I asked how to deal with a overly vocal spectator that is known to be a coach is cause of knowing a person that fits the description. (Watches HS games, but is a JH/MS coach)

Let's just say all the officials that do the games he watches, are very thick skinned as the gentleman in question complains about, almost, every non-call loud enough for the whole gym to hear.

They probably do not care or pay attention. People like these make a fool out of themselves most of the time.

A JH coach watching HS games? I wouldn't even know he was a coach.

Agreed. So, I'd treat him the same as I'd treat any other spectator acting that way. chseagle -- are you saying that the officials treat him differently? OR, that you'd expect better, given that you know he's a coach?

For starters, was just curious how everyone would respond to a known coach, viewing the game as a spectator, was questioning your officiating of the game.

Secondly, with him being a coach, acting at the time as a spectator, he should be setting an example to others around him.

There is a possibility I'll be seeing him more, if asked to assist with the JH/MS table operations. So I can see if his attitude is different as a coach, compared to being a spectator.
