One of the veteran officials I deeply respect.. when he asked me what I would have done had I heard the comment rather then my partner hearing the comment I told him I would have whacked him. He told me it was a good option but then put this idea in my head... he said that for a person my age (early twenties), he thinks I would have gained a lot of respect from the coach, since nobody heard the comment in the gym since the gym was loud, if I had gone up to him and said " Coach, I will not tolerate comments like that. If I hear something like that again it will be a technical foul" and then jogged away... anybody like that response over a quick t?

Not sure if this applies to your area, but where I work we pass a lot of schools to work a game. You will be around a lot longer than most coaches and if you do not have his respect, you are not going to get it by having words with him after an inappropriate statement on his part. Peace

I'd rather give a T and second guess myself whether or not it was good than NOT give one and regret it later. I can always apologize for an undeserving T and learn and move on, but I set a bad precedent when I make myself a doormat.

Put it in the Book Mister!
In my 3rd year and have never given a "T" to a coach yet..I am a big believer of issuing a bench warning and putting it in da book and so far that has done the trick to get my message across.
Question: If I issue a warning, is it wrong for my partner to then have a chat with that coach? Does it look like partner is selling me out? |

I know people that do this, I think it is unnecessary but people do this. It was something that came from college and was encouraged, but never at the NF level or at least in the rulebook or rulings. I am sure some states wanted this done.
Peace

As to part two, did you ask your partners why they decided to go have a chat with the coach?

I've used such phraseology, but only as an absolute last resort and very, very sparingly. And of course, I was prepared to follow it up. About 3 years ago, I worked a game where the visiting coach was about the worst howler monkey I've seen. In retrospect, he should've been ejected from the game, but I decided to give it one last try before giving him the gate. (He had already been whacked in the first quarter and were were in the second quarter at this point.) I walked up to him and told him, "You are really close to being ejected from this game. You don't want that and I really don't either. But it will happen if you don't knock it off." At this point he shut it down completely. He pretty much stopped coaching at this point, too. He got relieved of his duties shortly thereafter. Still, my partner and I both told ourselves later that he really had it coming and we did him a favor that he really didn't deserve. |

I mark through the remaining spaces and write down how many players are listed. I then take the book to both coaches and have them verify their players, numbers and starters. If they are satisfied I have them initial at the bottom.

All of this (book checking and verification) is local.
Back when I officiated in TN, we took the book back to the other side of the court and verified every number on the floor and ensured that the book was perfect. Now, I count up the total number of players and only concern myself if there are more warming up than there are listed in the book. It's on the coach if there's an error beyond this. I like putting the responsibility on the coach, myself. |
