A false dichotomy IMO. I'm all for giving a coach plenty of rope but there are some things that will stretch that rope out a lot quicker. My big one is insulting my integrity. It's as close to an automatic T as I have and I would not consider myself as unable to handle my business or be a weak communicator. I simply don't stand for it.

I Wanna Play ...
"You have no clue what you're doing out there, do you?"
Technical foul. He made it personal. "Seriously, that call was atrocious." Maybe. One of those "had to be there" situations. "Do you have a problem with me?" Ignore. "What is your problem?" Ignore. "You're doing a great job, but your partner is awful." Technical Foul. He made it personal. "It's tough playing 8 on 5." Technical foul. Accusing officials of cheating, and questioning officials' integrity. "Blow your whistle for crying out loud!" Maybe. One of those "had to be there" situations.

And the 8 vs. 5 isn't a T?!? That's the worst one of them all! The only argument on that one should be is it flagrant or not? In the other ones he is just telling you about how much you or your partner suck; you might be bad but at least you aren't trying to make sure the other team wins. In the 8 vs. 5 comment he is actually calling you, and your 2 partners, cheaters. |

Who here has NEVER called a "T"?
I have worked with about 6 guys who NEVER call a "T" no matter what. I had a partner see a pre game dunk and said "did you see that?" I said "What?" He said, " That kid just dunked" I asked, "are we starting the game with a "T"?" He said, "No I am just going to tell him not to do it again." They are out there, I got about 3 or 4 T's out of the first batch of comments. |

I had that line used on me last week.
Actually, to be accurate, it was "Will you please blow your whistle? For anything?!?! Just make A CALL!!" I honored her request. I blew my whistle I called a foul. A technical foul.

I've always maintained that the only absolutes with regards to Teeing up coaches are comments that are profane or question our integrity. That being said, nothing good can happen to a coach if he starts his speech with the word "you".

I would add imperative sentences to the list, which is why I have a T on the last item.

And yes, there is a good chance that is flagrant. It is much much worse than just saying that the official is terrible. Imagine there is an assignor who finds out that one of his officials did a terrible job one game. Now imagine the assignor finds out an official was cheating and trying to make sure that one team won. If an official did a bad job one game he could just need more training or possibly just had a bad game. An official who is cheating is entirely different and much more serious. Likewise a coach accusing you of cheating is entirely different and much more serious than a coach telling you that you are awful. |
