Quick T
I was working a freshman boy's tournament and it was the title game. I am the lead and the ball goes oob oposite sideline from me. My partner whistles and calls V ball. The H coach goes crazy and says pretty loud "no way!" My partner explains to him " i got it off white coach, green ball". H coach says again "no way" My partner with a stern but calm voice says "that is what I saw coach." Coach then yells "That's terrible" My partner now rings him up.
I just thought it was interesting since this took place about 2:30 into the game. We shot the freethrows and before we were done he sit down. He never stood up again or said one thing to us the rest of the day. Seems to me that the Coach didn't pick his battle very well. This early in the game over an oob call doesn't seem like the time to be so upset. |
This won't be the last time you'll be befuddled by a coach's behavior.
I once gave a warning to a coach 10 seconds into a game. (AAU game) Once T'd a coach 4 minutes into the first game of the season. (GV) :D |
Easy T. Sucks that it happened that early, but it is what it is.

Honestly I would not have had a T here because after I gave my explanation, I'm putting the ball in play right away.

Heard "unbelievable" as we no-called the second high dribble by green tonight.
I did tell the entire coaching staff I'd heard enough after they all complained about what they thought were missed travels on well executed step-through moves. |
Putting the ball in play and not commenting on everything a coach says ends pretty much most discussion and prevents unnecessary things from popping up. Your partner already told him what he saw, going back and forth, IMO, does nothing good.

I probably should have pointed out that on the terrible comment there was a hard finger point and it was yelled loudly. |
