When I worked in my last state last year we RARELY had a coach get to the point of deserving a "T". When a coach said something in that area then you could assume that it was warranted. There were 1 or 2 exceptions out of the ~80 teams we covered but those guys watched more games from the showers than the bench. It was something we covered in our study groups...how to manage coaches. If you let the coach go wild, then the fans start in and then the players feed off of it. Our association took very little from coaches and everyone stayed happy.

Fast forward to my new state where EVERY coach I have had to this point has deserved a "T" at some point in the game. I mean guys stopming floors, slapping bleachers, "3 seconds, Travel, and 1, oh come one, etc" from tip off to final horn. I have whacked 5 coaches to this point and had to toss one and people ask me why my fuse is so short. All partners tell me is "I don't even hear them anymore, I don't care what their opinion is."

What I am trying to get at is if a coach has a reputation for being an jerk it is probably because mots officials are giving him the ability to be a jerk. He clearly has been allowed to act that way because I assume if he got whacked a few games in a row he would simmer down.
