Sometimes it's just not fair

Some would call this inciting, but I believe others in your association would thank you for saving them hassle of hearing this AC.

I had a similar reply in my rookie year to, "Call the foul!" It was Y-league, so even his teammates were laughing at the kid.

If no-calling marginal or incidental contact initiated by the offense is inciting, I guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time!

Inciting refers to the "HERES YOUR WHISTLE" statement the official made to the coach in the OP, not the activity of the players.

This was a MS level game, I would not say the same thing at the HS level, I doubt that an assistant at the HS level would have spoken to me the way this one did. It's a learning experience.

BTW, I was an assistant coach at the MS for 6 years and at the HS level for 5 years. In MS, I got a ton of T's, in HS, never 1.

Ah! Pay it forward!

When JH becomes my focus of my career, I will worry about what I say that incites them. And even JH in most cases has very little accountability to anyone. Honestly that is the best time to be a smart ass when you know you can be.

Peace

Oh I know

Inciting (by definition) implies something that came before to cause a reaction. Saying "here's your whistle" came after the assistant yelled at Terrapins Fan. Unprofessional? Probably. Inciting? No.
