Coach's leash

Interesting. Say no one else heard it, but the official, is a technical merited? Moreover, is the ejection of the coach merited?
What is put in the report? Can it be corroborated? (playing Devil's Advocate here)

If a coach tells me a call I made is bullsh*t he is geting a technical foul. I once had a coach whisper to me that he was getting cheated. I gave him a T. He said why did I give him a T. Nobody in the gym heard him say it but me. I just told him he wasn't going to call me a cheater even if I was the only one who heard it.

Technical fouls are not personal, they are business; they are managing the game. We should not be in too many situations where the coach can whisper something to you. A good technical is one where there is no question as to why it happened AND once adjudicated makes the game flow better.

It wasn't personal for me. He called my partner and I cheaters. That deserves a T no matter who hears it.

Generally true, but I'm sorry - if a coach tells an official that he's cheating, T him up. Volume doesn't matter. Who else heard it doesn't matter.

I agree that when a coach goes too far and questions an official's integrity they have paid in full for their technical.
I also worked in associations where every technical foul on a coach requires a report both from the coach (or A.D.) and the crew to be filed. The association will also ask for game film to accompany this report being filed by the A.D. It's because of this I ask these questions.

Yes, it's warranted. And the day my assigner doesn't accept my word for this is the day I quit. I am not worried about corroboration, other wise I'd use the dam n stop sign.

Another point for the stop sign!

Not really.

Stop sign is just the chicken-S way of trying to get the coach to stop behaving badly without having the courage to give the T he earned. There's no such thing as a half-technical. They earn it, have the balls to announce it.
