Coach's leash

Agreed.

I would whack him in a heartbeat for that, too.

And than give him a stop sign!

...just asking.

When I T a HS head coach or bench personnel I'll say to my partner(s) "we need to make sure he is sitting down after we're done with the free throws".

Personally I see no reason to rush right over there to tell the HC he needs to sit.

This is spot on. My partners didn't really handle business and I had to tell the coach. To my utter dismay, I worked with the same partners last night and may have had something happen that is worse IMO. With 1:59 to go in the game, the coach of the team winning by 17 or 18 is upset and requests a timeout after I call a foul. I tell him OK - I was going to give him the timeout after I reported the foul - and he says something that is way over my line. I whack him and walk away. This morning, an official that was in the stands told me it was a good T, but the coach said, "That is a bull*** T" as I was inbounding the ball. I have already sent my partners an email to find out if either of them heard it. Not good.
