I've been coaching basketball for almost 8 years now. I've had some great experiences and some not so wonderful. Lots of wins, lots of losses and a few awesome comebacks. However this weekend I got my first technical. I don't know if it was enough for a coach to get a technical or not, but nevertheless, I got "T'd" up!
Here is how it went down....
During the middle of the second quarter one of my students took a wonderful charge on an opposing player who lowered his shoulder and bulldozed him over. But we got called for a block. I said a few words with the official. Our next possession one of my posts went to set a screen for the wing, and as he was trying roll off the screen to the basket, he was knocked down and the ref called a moving screen. My athlete looked at me raised his hands and shoulders in a "what did i do?" gesture and the ref game him a technical.
I then called the same ref over and asked him why the moving screen and why the technical. A short conversation took place and ended when the referee stated that "it is a judgement call coach!" I responded with, "then you have poor judgment!" TWEET!!
I thought it was pretty weak, but my team fought back after being down by 24 in the 3rd quarter and we only lost by 4.
