Am I being "That Guy?"

1. I find MS coaches simply sometimes forget this. I speak to the head coach, and it's handled internally. ("Hey Joe, sit down!") Occassionally, you get an overzealous AC that wants to be (or was) an HC. Just remind the HC that the coaching box is only for HC use, and his AC could cost him that use.

2. What others said. At lower levels, the kids typically don't know they're delaying. I like to look for intent here.

Either way, get some thoughts from your assigner.

1. I rarely have a problem with this since I only work high school games. The only time I dealt with it this season so far is when several players were standing while a play was going on. I just waited for the next whistle and reminded them that they need to stay seated.

2. I've only given one DOG warning this year I think. A kid on the team had tapped the ball after a basket and I told him to leave it alone. It happened again so I gave the warning. No one said anything.
