Am I being "That Guy?"
Two things I do that always seem a surprise to coaches and sometimes to my partners.
1. Allow only the HC to stand. Three times this year, I have requested that only the HC stand when I see the AC standing for extended periods and each time they look at me like I'm from Mars. I have requested guidance from our Area Supervisor on this. No reply yet. 2. DOG warnings. Mostly after made baskets where the team that scored will subtly or not so subtly hold the ball, tap the ball etc. preventing the other team from throwing it in. I must be the only one calling it based on the looks I get from the coaches and the table crews. |

1. While I'm not actively looking for it, if I notice it, I'll tell the head coach that only he can use the box to stand (save for the exceptions)
2. I would ask, is there any actual delay occurring? Is it an appreciable delay? If the opponent isn't in a hurry to throw the ball in, I'm not going to call it, unless it's egregious. I can say I haven't called a delay of game warning for interfering with the ball at all this year. From your description, I probably have nothing.

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. |

If there's a press I will always give the official warning. At lower levels I have tried the pre-warning warning, and each time I've had the opposing coach ask why it wasn't an official warning, which I really had no good answer for. So now if I deal with it, it's always an official warning. I'd rather do it the right way than get myself in trouble later on by warning one team unofficially and then later in the game have the other team interfere significantly enough that I can't let it go.

If it's not a delay, then give the "pre-warning" as a game management tool. That can be your answer to the opposing coach. |

It does seem like a lot, that's why I ask. I've never had to do it any other year though, so maybe it's a freak thing. I hope.

I had to warn both teams for this in one game several years ago. |
