We need buy-in from you and your groups. If your leaders buy-in, this will succeed.If we don’t start working on this in December, we will have no chance in January.What coaches do in the box allows officials to have a little latitude. Out of the box
behavior removes the gray area (no latitude in January).A single technical foul does not disqualify a coach. Would you rather have the coach roaming
and criticizing
all night or seated?
RTO
observations will include feedback on coaching
box
management when applicable. Officials who consistently refuse to manage the coaching box
properly will fail the RTO observation and will be ineligible for postseason.
The
need for the enforcement of the coaching box also
helps
and contributes to the recruitment and retention of
officials
. In all surveys
conducted,
the main reason for officials leaving officiating or not starting is the behavior of coaches.
