Coach on court

And I will ask this question again: While you are having your 2 minute long conversation with Coach A out in the middle of the key at his end of the court, just what wonderful thought do you think are going through the mind of Coach B down at the other end of the court?

I've still yet to have a coach-initiated conversation that changed the way I officiated or the way the coach coached.

Yeah, but that's because you're just in it for the paycheck.

Maybe your sample size is too small. Have more conversations or start some and see if you get better results.

Don't feed the troll!

My sample size is very broad. In season, I work for 6 different supervisors plus a 7th guy who assigns games for a small Christian college. And I go camping every off-season. And I work AAU ball every off-season. Plus my local facility is a stop on the Nike boys' EYBL circuit. So I see coaches from all over the country from various levels.

And none of those 7 guys who give me paychecks want their officials holding extended conversations with one coach during a game. And none of them want coaches out at the center circle or the free throw circles.

I've had plenty of pleasant conversations with coaches away from the court.
