Does that jacket removal and toss earn her a second T in your game? WNBA Finals -- Lin Dunn, Indiana Fever coach, criticizes Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve for actions in Game 2 - ESPN Quote:

No doubt where I work a 2nd T would be expected.
|
Very likely.
|
Heck yes. This was an embarrassment to her self, her team, and her sport.

Nope. That is not egregious enough for me at the college level. It was not directed at the official, was not a prolonged action, and her staff got her under control pretty quickly.
If this is a HS game, then yes.... (Let the criticism begin)..... |
Absolutely...and I would have no problem giving her the 2nd one myself had I called the first one.
|
Yes. And I think a coach would've gotten the gate in the NBA, too.

Appendix III 4. emphatically removing one’s coat in response to a call/no-call or throwing equipment or clothing on to the floor This year the emphasis is apparently on: 1. Simply removing the coat emphatically. 2. Throwing equipment. 3. If the coat is already off, throwing it. |

Come on, all she did was vigorously hand her jacket to an assistant. :)
Seriously though, I wouldn't have categorized that as tossing or throwing the jacket. It simply didn't go far enough and it went straight to an assistant coach who caught it without so much as a second thought. For the high school level, I think the fit probably lasted long enough for a second T. For professional ball, I wouldn't expect a second T here. I expect emotional responses to Ts and I don't want to pile on. If the jacket was slammed to the floor or launched across the floor, I'd think differently. |

HS / NCAA - yes
WNBA - no (especially if it is female )....now you think I'm kidding listen to this. In the NCAA - W handouts ( I work men's but saw this at a small college clinic), I guess bench decorum is a POE. Well the picture of a coach coaching on the court is a WOMAN ( no technical), but the picturre of a coach screaming/ being demonstrative ont he court is a MAN.....you don't think the rules committee did that on purpose ????? Makes you wanna go hmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!! |

How egregious do you want it to be? The NCAA said it really wants to clean up coaches’ behavior...you better whack that this year or nothing will change. |
