Bench personnel
Everybody-
what's your philosophy on dealing with bench statisticians who get into it with you while you're on the floor? Tonight I had a crew of varsity officials who gave a bench statistician two warnings but did not whack. |
Treat them the same as an assistant coach = low tolerance.
|
I'd give the "statistician" less rope / tolerance than an assistant coach.

What was the issue? Did they get into with the table people or the officials on the floor?
Sometimes if they get into with the table, that might be something that needs to be addresed directly before it becomes a distraction. If they are yelling at the officials, well not sure what rope they would need because I would already have hung them. ;) Peace |

He got into it with the guys on the floor.
-Warning #1 came immediately after a H score when the V statistician for consecutive trips was arguing for an offensive foul in the post.Warning #1 was issued immediately after said score. -Warning #2 was issued during a timeout in the 2nd quarter immediately after another H score arguing for the previously mentioned offensive foul in the post. Believe me I would not allow a bench statistician to get into it with us at the table.Besides this team had a scorekeeper at the table with us. |
"immediately after a H score when the V statistician for consecutive trips was arguing for an offensive foul in the post." -- "Coach! Control your bench!" (and he wouldn't have been arguing on consecutive trips, b/c this would have happened the first time he opened his mouth.)
"During a timeout in the 2nd quarter immediately after another H score arguing for the previously mentioned offensive foul in the post." -- WHACK! |

First comment; "Coach, control your bench."...maybe point in the general direction of the culprit so the coach knows who to "control".
Second comment; WHACK! Seems fairly straight forward to me. |

No coach wants to lose that box. |
that's what I thought everybody-these officials were being observed by one of the area supervisors so hopefully it was discussed pre-game.

Please elaborate. |

Most rational people who act an a$$ do so because no one ever calls them out on it. Most rational people who act an a$$, and get confronted about their behavior, are contrite in the aftermath. I have often received apologies from players, coaches, and bench personnel. When they do apologize, my response is always "It's no big deal, I used to do the same thing" or something to that effect. This approach works for me, not saying it works for everybody. |
Say Five Hail Marys ...
We had an official who ejected the priest on the bench of a D-II Catholic college. Those Benedictines are so damn uppity.
