Thanks. Read about it and heard it but didn't see it.

My 13 year old daughter doesn't throw fits like that. My 7 year old son does, however.

I can identify.

Most HS coaches would be surprised if they read 10-4-1 which specifies that an unsporting foul inlcludes, but is not limited to:

a. Disrespectfully addressing an official.
b. Attepting to influenece an official's decision
c. Using profane or inapproprate language or obscence gestures
d. Disrespectfully addressing, baiting or taunting an opponent.
e. Objecting to an official's decision by rising from the bench or using gestures
f. inciting undesirable crowd reactions
g. being charged with fighting
h. Removing the jersey and or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing arda
i. grasping either basket (not likley from a coach)

I suggest that given those definitions coaches should be assessed with technical's with much greater frequency then they are presently.

Coaches are under the impression that only c or maybe h will earn them that technical foul. The bar is set much lower if you consider a, b and e.

And it appears Miller committed all 3 on some level.

But, we don't give technicals for these behaviors. While the list permits us to give technicals for a lot of things, it isn't expected that we call technicals for these behaviors.

We don't?

It isn't expected by whom?

For example, I don't know of any official who gives a technical when a coach tries to influence a call.

I don't think giving a technical foul under those circumstances would be expected by the official's partner, the coach, or the fans.

If it's prolonged, I will. That's what's expected.
If it's repetitious, I will. That's what's expected.
Either of these will generally get a warning.

If it's once or twice a quarter ("That's a travel"), I don't generally pay attention.

Giving an exaggerated travelling signal after being warned about behavior?

Repeatedly slapping his own arm when he wants a foul call?

That would get a T ever in your games?

Hopefully he doesn't wear spaghetti strap tops...

Good to know that these adults think that there need to be 3 qualifiers

Cursing
Being out of control
and already have been warned
