An easy way to have this conversation is to make it about the rule and not the official and their call.
" Coach, by rule, you are now required to sit for the remainder of the game" This same approach can be used with explaining other controversial or unpopular rulings. This way, the emphasis is shifted more from your call itself to the rule in the book. |

Quote:
Coach stayed standing, silent about anything but shouting encouragement so I just went by him and said, by rule you need to sit, sir. He did and there was no issue. Complying with the rule is in the coach's best interest and they know that. It's an emotional moment and people forget that they need to sit when it happens. Going in guns ablazin' is going to escalate the situation, a quiet reminder will redirect everyone back to the game. |

"Coach I need you to sit down by rule."
And it must be noted that I am not there to debate the call or to discuss why they got a T. I am there to simply give information and if that information is not listened to, then action will be taken. Peace
