VC coaching in stands...
Had this happen a few times this year and I can't seem to find a rule or just need counsel.
I am working a Soph/JV game and happen to know the VC. He hit me in a college camp parking lot. He is sitting on the opposite bench area coaching his kids. He also would occasionally throw a fit on what he deemed a missed call. What are the penalty s if any or advice on how to handle him. Thanks in advance, |

If he's a "fan", treat him like a fan and kick him out. |
If he's not on the bench, he's a fan. Have game management remove him if his behavior warrants it.
If he IS on the bench, he's the head coach's problem. Have that coach address it, or issue a technical foul (indirect on the head coach). The latter is generally followed in short order by a 2nd T. :) |
For the future, let your assignor know what the situation is and ask that you not have any more of that team's games.
As for the game itself, since you have few options once you're in the gym, as the others said as long as he's a fan leave it alone. Let your partner know along with game management. |
I do not care who he is, if he is in the stands he is a fan and only a fan. The only other thing I would do differently is report that person to the state or governing body if I know this was a representative of a school. At least it would be in a file that any other behavior would be addressed and noted based on this action.

Hand over your paycheck to one of the Var officials on next game to let you take his spot, or at least come out and go through oncourt pregame. Love to see that coaches face then:)

I think my main concern is why you would choose to focus on this particular fan, just because of his occupation. (Regarding the "he hit me", I'd think that would have been handled already in the past - I hope you pressed charges at the time, but if you did, and the whole thing is resolved, and he's still coaching, well - live with it or officiate elsewhere if he makes you uncomfortable ... but the "he hit me" should have nothing to do with this situation) |
He hit me with his piece of junk trunk. I swear I read something about coaching personnel coaching from areas off the bench. If you all havent heard of it I understand.
I am sure site management is scared of the VC and is not going to talk to him. Yet it was a nice idea. They work together. |

And it makes no difference who works with whom...at that moment, the GM person has authority over that Coach...I don't know of a single AD or Principal in our area who would not back up their Game Management personnel in a situation like this. |

You have not said if this guy's antics were such that you would do something about them if it was just some run of the mill fan... if you wouldn't... then ignore it on the VC as well. |
