Coach vs Partner

[pfan1981]

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 a double warning. I don't approve of those. The second correction should involve penalizing the undesired behavior.

Did the L come to administer the throw in because they were going the other way? I.E. ball in B's front court, T calls violation so L becomes new T going the other direction?

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.

Yes, the violation was at half court, tableside going the other way, so the L came to the table for the throw in. In this scenario, I was the L and thought I was doing a favor by trying to support my partner and move on with the game. Right? Wrong? Indifferent?

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,

We work with different partners all the time too. Nothing seemed strange from what you described. I would agree with Nevada if the first official told the coach he's heard enough then told his partner that he had warned the coach, AND then the partner comes over and says the same thing. If my partner ever tells me (and this has happened only once which is surprising because I know many times my partner will tell the coach enough but not communicate to me) that he has warned the coach and I have an instance where I would *normally* warn I pull out the T stick.

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.

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.

Is this a Texas thing? Custom or requirement?
