Although, I Guess, Anything Is Possible
I find it very difficult to believe that you've never warned a coach about any type of poor behavior. You call a foul on his player and after you report the foul the coach states to you, "He traveled before he got hit. You missed it", and you hit him with a technical foul right away for questioning your call? There's a spectrum of choices that we can use to control a coach, and his bench, from simply ignoring, all the way up to, and including, an ejection. A simple warning is one of those many choices.

Allow me to be clear, I cannot think of any situation involving poor or unsporting behavior in which I believe that a technical foul is deserved that I would instead merely issue a warning and fail to penalize the offender, whether he be a coach or a player.
If the current NCAAW rules are moving towards requiring a warning for a behavioral offense, not simply straying from the coaching box, prior to permitting a technical foul being issued, then I believe that that is going the wrong direction and allowing the mostly coaches and ADs who sit on the rules committee to inappropriately shift the balance in favor of preventing penalties for themselves. Furthermore, I do believe that any official who would bend to those wishes (out of a desire to take the D1 paycheck) is a sell-out. Officials should be strong and insist upon proper respect when working a contest. Having a system in place which permits behavior counter to that without penalty is unacceptable working conditions for any official with an ounce of self-respect. That's my position on this matter. |

Instead, I think they are saying "look for an opportunity to warn about the less egregious behavior (in an attempt) to prevent the more egregious behavior." An analogy I've been working on: If you creep out onto a frozen lake, and you hear the ice crack, you can scurry back to shore. If you go out again, the ice is already weakened and you'll fall through. Or, if you go charging out to the middle, you won't hear the warning of the cracking ice and you'll fall through. |

Nevada is an expert on everybody else's character. He also thinks his opinion should be the basis of what should or shouldn't be accepted. He thinks if he were an NCAA supervisor that he wouldn't have keep his coaches and ADs happy.

I have chosen the later before and the player in question settled down, composed himself and we finished with no further language or incident. Until now, he and I were the only two that knew about the exchange. I did point out to my partner that those two were heating up again and we needed to watch them. |

You should read the NFHS mission statement in the front of the rules book. Don't forget what we are trying to teach in this country through high school sports. |

The goals of HS and NCAA athletics have diverged over the past couple of decades. HS sports are an extension of the classroom and a teaching environment for young people who need to develop character as they grow into future leaders of our society. NCAA sports have become increasingly about money and generating revenue for the institutions which field the teams. With big money TV contracts and large coach salaries, the environment and focus are different. Almost no one is feeding his family by coaching HS, but people certainly do make a living, and often a very good one, coaching at the college level. Therefore, the role of the officiating supervisor is different. At the HS level there is no need for the coaches or the ADs to have any say in the officiating process. All that the officials owe them is an honest effort (hustle), fairness in treating both teams equally, and looking out for the safety of all contestants. Allowing the coaches and ADs any other influence would negatively impact the integrity of the game. At the college level, the supervisor must balance protecting the integrity of the game with the desire of the coaches and ADs to generate revenue. The games have become a spectator product for the paying customer. If the official is going to accept such a position and be compensated accordingly for it, then he need be ready to also accept the other factors which accompany that. |
