How many "T"s will you have at the end of the season?
How many "T"s will you have at the end of the season.
Let's make a prediction. A few years ago I had over 20. Last year, maybe 5 or 6. Keep in mind I referee about 70 or more games a year. I m going to guess 4 for myself. Hoping for none. But I have never had a season with Zero. Have you have had a season with Zero "T"s? |

I would think that unsportsmanlike would be all that really counts...and maybe I'll get 3-4, maybe.

No Bell Curve For Coaches ...
Impossible to predict. Coaches are totally unpredictable. Like a rabid dog.

Scholastically, probably just a few. But, I do some local WRECK Ball, so if this yr holds to form, probably ~ 10. I usually don't have to hand too many out.

Well with the emphasis for the coaching box in my state, I would have said 5 and a couple of those would have been administrative in nature. But I am thinking I could have 8-10. I hope it is not that high, but I have one already on a player for unsporting behavior.
Peace

One so far this year -- taunting on a player after a dunk. Like Jeff, I thought I would have more given the state's "zero tolerance" policy on the coaching box. I'll go with 4, in an estimated 100 V and NCAAW games. |

I am at 2 through my first 13 games, so that would average out to about 8 before the season is over...Thankfully my schedule will be light as I follow my son around with baseball or I might be at 8 already.
Funny that you guys are in states with zero tolerance policies on coaches boxes. In my neck of the woods and in my pool they don't enforce the coaches box at all!! Serious, coach can go from mid court to baseline with no one saying a peep and the boxes aren't marked either. I asked and they just told me they don't get in a huff over it. Also, no "X" marking the official scorer, scorers don't wear the striped shirt, no "T"s for books not being done at 10 minutes (sometimes it is closer to 5 before they are ready) and I had to make 2 kids take off tights the other day in game #7 for them. I said "is this the first time you have been told this?" "yes sir"...smdh |

Wish I knew...it has been a touch frustrating so far this season. I came into the pool not wanting to be "that guy" but coaches are out of hand here and the fans/players feed off of it. I decided the other night that I'm not going to play along and I am going back to the game management I have been taught every other place I have worked.

This is funny. There may be parts of the country that do everything "by the book". If I tried that here, I would be doing a lot of middle school ball. Texas just went from a 6' coaches box to a 14' box this year. I would have never known - we don't make a big deal out of the coaches box here. If the coach is coaching, we pretty much don't care. We also don't enforce the 10 minute book rule. We rarely even go onto the court with more than 10 minutes showing on the clock. We go over to check the book when it looks like it's ready. The coaches have to sign the book before we start so if there are any book issues, it's on them. This may horrify some people. I like it. I'm sure part of it stems from coaches having so much power to control who works their games (more importantly who doesn't).
And I'm with BNR on this one - why try and predict how many T's you'll call? That is just something that is unpredictable. |
