Rut-how would you hold the game up in this situation? Players to your benches,tell timer to put 1:00 minute on clock and inform new HC that if ejected coach is not gone by the end of that minute this contest is a forfeit? Have host site security escort the coach out of facility so that game can be resumed?

The "1:00 or forfeit" can work in rec / aau ball.

I wouldn't use it in HS ball at almost any level.

A forfeit is the nuclear option in an organized HS game. It's a situation where you can be right and yet be VERY, VERY wrong, if you get my drift.

I would have game management or the police remove a coach before I would forfeit a game.

Also, I would probably get the new head coach involved and tell him that he doesn't want to receive a technical foul for not helping to rein the former head coach. And I would follow through on that one, too. I wouldn't whack the already-ejected coach, but the new head coach has a duty now.

I've had 2 coach ejections in 27 years and both were before 1995. They both went quietly.

I couldn't even tell you the last time i ran a coach. All of the memorable one's were from idiot AAU coaches.

I ran a coach a few days ago. The last was before 2000. Coach left without any incident with me. He knew he was run and left without making much of a fuss.

Peace

I suspect a majority of coaches who carry things too far want to get tossed. In most cases their team is getting beat so they vent their frustration on the officials. I know one official who won't toss a coach who acts that way because he wants him to stay and experience the a-- whopping his team is getting. Interesting approach!

I had this happen once (Rockford big 12 at that time). They had a certain Bosnian player that was really good. I can't remember the visiting school, but like most at that time it was a beating early. He gets wacked in the first half by one of my partners. At half-time he suggests that if we have to stay out there and witness this so should he. So reguardless of his antics we weren't giving him the satifsfaction. At a time out one of the other guys quitely gives him our perspective. He sat down and looked completely beat. Home coach couldn't believe we were letting him get away with this until he was let in on why we were doing it. priceless

The old Earl Strom-Frank Layden approach from the early 1980's

I've heard this before and let me say I disagree 1000%. We aren't there to scold (as much as we may like) or spank a coach. He does something to deserve a T, he gets a T. The score of the game should NEVER dictate our jobs.

Your are correct. It seemed like the thing to do at that time (16 years ago). If I was in that situation now I wouldn't do that. In no way am I suggesting someone adopt this a way of punishing a coach. In hindsight it was bush on our part, but luckily that one time effective.

Oh I totally agree with you. For the record I didn't say I would do that but I just thought it was an interesting approach. For me, if a coach earns a t he gets a t or an ejection it's an ejection. But there have been numerous times I've realy wanted to ask a coach what kind of offense or defense their running but bit my lip instead.
