While I agree 99% of the time, it isn't an issue, and most of us are quite capable of dealing with most of the other 1%, I don't agree with your assumptions here. They're unwarranted.

NFHS Officials Manual CREW OF TWO
2.4.2 H. Disqualification Procedure:
1. The non-calling official shall notify the coach and request the timer to begin the replacement interval, and then notify the disqualified player.

Curious, isn't it?

PS: The only reason I would want my partner to inform the coach is that I'd hate to write the report to our assignor if I had to toss him/her for an unbecoming response. . .

So? Of the two major set of mechanics, nationally, one insists that the noncalling official deal with the coach, and the other gives the option of the noncalling official dealing with the coach.

Interesting. There has to be a commmon reason for this mechanic. Very interesting.

Of course we know that there are a lot of state, and local, mechanics sets out there, so, as usual, when in Rome ...
