Coach Disqualification

She get louder and comes further on the court and complains louder. I finish reporting the foul and the 2 technical fouls and she head towards the exit.
We get the shooter on the line and I see that the assistant coach is standing and I tell her that there is no longer a coaching box, she retorts that the technicals were not on her. Now I see that the Head coach either returned to the gym or never left and is standing in the corner doorway. I get the AD and ask him have her leave. She yells the she is leaving and proceeds to cross the entire gym diagonally through the middle of the court and she received a standing ovation from the visitor's crowd and her players.

How could I have handled this situation better?

For clarity's sake,

You are in the middle of the report and give the first technical? Then finish the report and whack a second time?

I wasn't sure from the above when the second technical happened.

If i'm interpreting the above correctly I would say this.

Personally, I never interrupt my report. If the coach is going banana's before the report then fine deal with that...before the report. Once I start my report, I'm going to finish...and if the coach is still going off or earned it during my report...then I whack.

So ... the time period where you are reporting the T is a free-zone the coach that you Teed up can use to do or say whatever he wants to with no chance of penalty?

I'm with Toren. Of course it's not a "T-free zone". But I'm not stopping my reporting. If the behavior needs to be penalized, it can be penalized (hopefully by my partner(s); but if necessary by me), after I complete my report.

I would complete my report before any further action is taken. That's not to say that coaches/players/etc have free reign to say or do whatever they want during this time, just that I'm not going to stop what I'm doing. If, after reporting I deem it necessary to take further action, then so be it.

By stopping my reporting, I could end up confusing things for myself and/or the scorekeeper(s).

Isn't that at least part of the reason we report fouls before allowing in subs, or before awarding time outs, or before... whatever?

This is what I am rooting for. Someone needs to get over there and reel this guy/gal in. Could likely be the difference in the 2nd T (depending on how savy your partner/s are), or at least you having to do all the heavy lifting. I am also not saying you have to work your @ss off just to keep him in the game. Hopefully your buddies have your back!

Perhaps you should read what I write.

Fair enough.
