Coach vs Partner
Violation by visiting team right by the table. T calls it and then has to calm down the visiting bench. L comes to administer the throw in, tells the coaches to knock it off and play ball. Should the L have done this? If not, should he just keep his distance and wait for the throw in and keep an eye on the players?

If the T had already handled things, there isn't any need for the L to do anything unless they started back up again.

Sounds like two different observations that had nothing to do with the other. I do not have any problem with that action. It sounds like it might have done the trick.

Keep in mind, we work with somewhat random partners around here. So I'm not with my normal partner on a given evening. How would you have handled this with a normal partner or a random one? Thanks for any input, pfan |

Warnings in my book are per crew, not per official. |
Your partner had dealt with it already, and if there was nothing further said by the coaches, there's nothing to be gained by chiming in.
If there was something further said, then I'm with Nevadaref. |
[QUOTE=deecee;918034] many times my partner will tell the coach enough but not communicate to me) that he has warned the coach
Ths is why I don't whisper my "official" warnigs. I may casually tell a coach that I got it or have heard enough before his behavior gets bad but if I am going to WARN a coach my partner will have no doubts about it when I do -- especially on those occasions when I have it recorded in the book. A good voice is a valueable tool for the whole crew. |

His rationale basically was that once we warn a bench, it's going to stick, and the next behavior that raises to that level will be a T, no debate. When I came to the table and the V coach and his assistants heard me recording the warning with the scorer, they looked on in disbelief. That was followed by the HC telling his AC's that they were to keep quiet the rest of the game. Not a peep from the AC's the rest of the game. Maybe that was my Crew Chief's intent all along. He is a wily old veteran. |

I would actually like to see a rules change where that was allowed so that we could send a better message for sportsmanship. Other methods IMO do not really work very well. I hate the "stop sign" and at least it could be noted officially and probably do the very same thing that happened in this story. Peace |
