Working a JVB game last year with a 1st year official (only his 5th game). Game was going well, kid was blowing the whistle which I feel is important. We are standing at the division line after the end of the 3rd discussing some things and the coach asks my partner "are you a 1st year official?"...kid says "yes I am"...coach says "it shows". I gave the kid a few seconds to whack the coach himself but when he didn't I did for him. Coach threw his hands up "I wasn't talking to you"...whack again...see ya!
Why were you so close to the bench area?

T here.

One of the reasons that Varsity coaches should never, ever be around the bench area during the JV games...if they get tossed they are done for the day+2 games+$100 fine and take a class.

Around here, the V coaches have an(some more than others depending on the AD/conference if the conference has an assignor) influence in who they get for games, in some cases even at away games, so that question is a catch 22 for younger officials.

We weren't that close...buzzer sounds for end of the period, I meet my partner at the division line near the center circle coach steps out in front of the table and starts in. Whack, Whack gone.

Coach is well known in this area for being an ***...he was looking to get tossed because he was tired of coaching. If I hadn't whacked him on the second comment he would have kept going till one of us tossed him. One and only basketball coach I have ever tossed...can't say the same on the diamond though.
