What comments warrant T's (Video)
 

Sorry can't embed from my ipad. More proof of my poor video posting skills.

Officials who call fouls on contact after a defender blocks a shot.
Wait, one can't T a partner?

The only ones I'd call without a warning are the wave-off at 1:28 and the reaction at 1:32. The tech at 2:00 was good but if the ref waited just a little bit longer the coach was about to hang himself even more.

The others would depend on how they had been earlier in the game and if they had been warned or not.

Loved the "batting .500" comment, that was hilarious!

"I didn't even curse!" :rolleyes:

On the vast majority of these I'd be struggling to hold in my laughter. Otherwise, I'd have to know the context of the situations in order to say whether I'd "t" up the coach or not.

Either way, entertaining vid.

Seen this before, enjoyable each time I view it.

I wouldn't have a T on any of these on their own, but some of these may get a "not again" from me, particularly "Call the foul!" (My pet peeve is imperative statements.) For personal reasons, I enjoy the "We're charting the cawls!" statement. That NY accent reminds me of my father-in-law and late father. (I played it for my wife and sons. They agree.)

I'm on the coach's side for his complaint for talking a kid out of the lane. Call it preventative officiating if you want, but it's not our job to coach. Blow the whistle, and they're less likely to do it again.

Like it or not, it's the expectation in some areas, and if you start making the call as you suggest, you'll be a lone ranger working MS ball.

Coaches sometimes complain, but not often.

And yes, I understand your rationale and don't necessarily disagree. But it only works if everyone in your area is on the same page.

Funny I was thinking officials who pass on illegal contact because the shooter wasn't put at a disadvantage when he was knocked on his butt. ;)

"Just like the technical foul you gave me shoudn'tve existed."

-a coach who is most definitely STANDING. Oops.:D

And to a further point, if you start whistling THEIR team for it, they'll start complaining about you making too many calls.

Most coaches don't want this strictly called.

Like standing on the floor at 2:09 saying "Nobody came to see you!" after just getting stuck? That might have gotten him a second one.

I believe NY uses its own hybrid of NCAA/NFHS rules, so the coach may not lose the box after a T. Could someone who works that state confirm/deny this?

I'm not saying blow the whistle at 3.0. No-one wants that. When a player reaches three seconds in the lane, and you see no attempt to get out, then rule it. My point is, it's not our job to coach them, and I agree with the coach about his complaint.

Three Seconds ...
 

Warn early. Do not warn often. No need to warn the big kid posting up for longer than three seconds, just blow the whistle. Consider warning the kid who just gets lost in the lane.

Some of the "discussions" - actually most of them - on the video are in NJ where the NFHS coaching box rule is in effect. In NYC the NCAA coaching box rule is in effect.

I'm not quite sure how it's handled outside of the five boroughs but I know in the immediate suburbs (Long Island, Westchester) it's the same as within NYC.

The two or three rants about the foul count, and the wave off and taking off the jacket would get my attention faster than any of the rest.

Eh, that taking off of the jacket was not enough to whack. It's not that they do it, it's how they do it.

These jacket removals are technicals (yes, technically Mulkey never took off her jacket):

I love how in the first one the girl in the pink caught the jacket and didn't even flinch. Looks like she may have been used to it.

Why was the coach in the final clip standing up after having received one T in the game already?

That was hilarious! She has a look on her face that's like, "Coach is going nuts. Time for me to get to my spot on the floor..."


You mean in the NCAAW game? :confused:

Wow, that Floyd thing was a complete team meltdown.

Not sure what level the game was. Coach is standing by the official making comments about his first technical. Are NCAAW rules different than NFHS with regard to coaching privileges for a coach that has been given a TF?

edit: looked at the vid again. 2nd to last clip. bald coach in burnt orange v neck sweater talking to over weight zebra. boys game high school or college...don't know which.

Of course they are.

With the exception of maybe two clips, all of the clips in the video would definetely result in a "one and only warning coach" from me and a quick T if already warned by me or the crew. Depending on the mood of the game in general, some of them may be T's without a warning.

You may ask me a question about a call or inquire as to why the crew is calling things a certain way in a professional tone & volume, but once I answer the conversation is over(its not a debate). There will be no conversation if you get personal, scream, use profanity, or otherwise act unprofessional towards me.

Gotta come back with, "That puts us in the Hall of Fame," right?
