I've had a partner give two Ts to a coach once (YMCA). But this was my first.

Are we counting regular season games or these summer/off-season contests. If that is the case I have no idea how many I have sent to the showers. I know I ejected a coach in AAU this year and one during the college season this past season. I cannot remember the last ones before those times. Then again I have not counted either.

Peace

I've whacked my fair share for sure. But the opportunity hasn't presented itself and I guess I haven't felt they crossed the line.

But, I have three games tonight.... "So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*" (Dumb and Dumber quote)

During my first couple of years of summer officiating, I personally gave 2 techs to a coach. The techs were very much earned, but someone - and I'm sure you would give the same, snaqs - encouraged me to follow a bit of protocol that might help reduce the odds that I would give the 2nd tech and increase the odds that my partner would whack him. I've stuck with that since then, and it has seemed to work well.

It's helped me be more accountable to my partner should I be administering that 2nd tech and it's kept me from giving that 2nd tech.

Bad news during the summer though, and I experienced this last week, I may have a partner that is less than willing to back you up and give that 2nd technical. I was forced to walk all the way across the floor and whack a coach a second time for calling me an expletive. I was irritated with the coach, but moreso in my partner for not having my back.

Finished venting.....

Adult league play-offs. The game was supposed to be a blow-out, but the lower-seeded team was actually hanging very close. It was probably a 6 point game at this point.

This guy just went bat-bleep crazy. He complained about a call on one trip down, then absolutely just flipped over a perceived no-call on the next trip. Cursing, jumping, out on the court. Just totally out of control. I whacked him. One of his players then told me what he thought about the call. So I whacked him, too.

In truth, I should have run the coach with a second T right then; but I walked away and he thankfully calmed down enough that he was (barely) under control.

Then in the second half, his player dribbles into a double-team trap, gets stripped and the coach wants a foul and again just goes insane. So I whacked him again. His player then throws the ball over the fence and into the street. So my partner whacked him.

The coach -- surprise! -- doesn't want to leave. He left.
