Seat belt coach!!
How do you politely and effectively remind a coach they have now lost the coaches' box after a technical foul. What verbiage do you use and when is the best time to say something and who should do it?

If I'm closest to the bench afterwards, I like to give them to the end of the 2nd free throw, then I tell them they need to take a seat. If I called the T and I've gone opposite table (which I always do when I 'T' up a coach) and my partner doesn't do it by then, then I will say out loud "please tell the coach he needs to be seated."

Way to often in these situations the appearance of "impropriety" is put squarely on the officials shoulder, when it's the coach that just did something to earn him a T, and it's the coach that's upset, and it's the coach that's running his mouth saying inappropriate things. What salt are you throwing in the coach's eye for providing him the penalty he just earned and then seeing it through by telling him to, "sit the @#$@$ down." [I provided a paraphrase, something more suitable should be used but the message is the same ![]()

Diffuse the Situation
![]() Isn't that considered profanity in some FIBA countries? But oftentimes there's only one adult involved in the interplay. ![]() Fed mechanic isn't all that bad if the goal is to offer a means to diffuse what otherwise might, for whatever party might be less tactful than ideally expected, result in an ejection. I'm not one to refuse to defuse.

I don't really mind having the calling official get away from the coach and let the non-calling official remind him to take a seat. The problem I do have is with non-calling officials who stand there and give the coach their ear the entire time the free throws are being shot. The non-calling official should remind him of the seatbelt and step away from him. To me it just looks like the guy standing there with the HC is playing "good cop" to the calling official's "bad cop".

Here is what I pre-game:
3-Whistle... If I "T" up a Coach I will administer the FTs. (It gives me something to do rather than just standing there opening myself up to something) If I "T" up a player I will talk to the Coach during the FTs.(If I "T" a kid...I should have no problem at all explaining the reason to a Coach)
