I know I should tech him, but don't have the balls. I have the balls, but am not sure if I should tech him. I made a bad call and want to give him some slack. A tech is a big call and I don't want my assignor/the AD to not assign me games in the future. I want the coach's vote for the state tournament (varies by state). I was focused on something else and didn't realize he was yelling at me. 2 points and the ball is a big deal, especially at the end of a close game. |

BTW, not everyone has to worry about a coach deciding your playoff fate. That never comes into play in my thinking. Coaches can rate us, but they are one rating. Who cares what they think.

The point still stands. Not everyone is preoccupied with that even in those states where coaches make part of that decision. Peace

You wrote "BTW" which indicates you are adding information. I had already mentioned voting varies by state, so you were re-stating something I already said and implying I didn't know it. English is funny :P

And based on previous posts, you do not seem to be aware of other things officials regardless of "system" they work under. Not every officials is a slave to their system and is scared to do their jobs. Peace

In Indiana, where AremRed and I are from, this is the #1 reason. Coaches have too much control on who works the tourney. Even if you Tech up a coach, they still can put a bad vote on you.

To follow up on Jeff's comment: A long time ago a D1 official told a group of us newbies (less than 5 years), "They're going to be upset with you when you blow the whistle. They're going to be upset when you don't. Might as well blow the whistle."
Translation: You can't control what they do, only what you do.
