Questioning a Call

Dealing With Impassioned Coaches


Coaches Meeting

Coaches have a right to question your call. Make shre that they are questiong a rule and not your judgment. It is important for you to know your rules so that you can clearly verbalize your inturperation of the rules

When a coach questions your call they must go to the score table for that meeting. Hear the coach, know what he is asking and make a judgmnt. If you do not change your call, you MUST give that coach an unsportsmenlike conduct.

Coaches misconduct results in the following:

  1. First Offense - Warning;
  2. Second offense - Deduct one team point;
  3. Third offense - Deduct two team points and removal of the head coach for the remainder of the day

Assistant officals, if avaiable, are second eyes. Talk with them to get their opnion on a given situation when possible. Be sure you have your conversation away from the coaches or other specatators
