From December 2002. Former Indiana (current UAB) coach Mike Davis costs his team any shot at a victory by running onto the court in the closing seconds against Kentucky to argue a late-game no call.
Not sure who worked this game but a very good job by the officials of keeping their heads. The primary gives Davis every chance as you can read his lips: "walk away" even though he could have T'd him up merely for going onto the floor.

I remember that. I forgot that the game was so close. Mike Davis really lost it. I don't know who the referee is, but he was remarkably calm.
Question for hoops officials. Is it protocol for the official who gives the FIRST technical on a coach also give him the second and ejecting technical? Should one of that officials partners gotten in there and gave Davis the second and final tech?

Should one of that officials partners gotten in there and gave Davis the second and final tech? It depends.  It depends on your Referee-In-Chief. Some guys prefer another official tagging the 2nd one. Others don't care. Having said that, there are times when you must whack immediately*. It doesn't matter who had previous whacks. * = some small delay is ok, but a long delay shows you were hesitant, or your Ps might think you need (unnecessary) help. In the video, letting the official tag both Ts is absolutely 1 billion% the correct thing to do. That guy could have tagged the coach right away, but he correctly let the coach have a say before tagging him. If I was handling the situation properly, and my partner came in to fish in my pond, I'd pull a Strom/Bavetta thing on him. Going anywhere near his pond undermines the calling official. The unfortunate part is that there are officials, usually ones that do only up to high school ball, that don't understand this, and frequently fish in other's ponds. There are more calls to make in basketball than in football, so you really do have to be aware about calling your secondary tightly when your secondary is your partner's primary. In my local association, most other officials let things go on too long, so I won't wait for them to tag a coach if needed. I do both. I also document every T and send in a report. I've never had a call back saying that a T wasn't warranted. |
