Officials are key to the game. In many instances officials are members of their community who give a great deal of time and effort to the athletes who are competing. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Coaches often give the same effort in their quests for success. In fact, coaches and officials are  link sbobet  linked forever in the outcome of an competitive contest. The question then becomes; how do you win with the officials?

First, remember a fair official is the best official. You cannot, and should not expect to get a call in your favor simply because you have a witty charm or intimidating presence on the sideline. Rather be a communicator; communicate with respect and not by fear. Understand the call being made, realize the call it is not going to be reversed and stop yelling and find it in your heart to ask for an explanation.

Second, a good official will give you 10 seconds of their time and then move on. As a coach you must do the same. I promise a varsity level official will tell you (if you kindly ask) what they saw. Be ready to accept their response and move on. Basketball is a game of angles-a coach from the sideline has a different angle then the lead official under the basket. Understand, most likely you failed to have the proper angle on the call. Trust the official is making the right call.

Next, leave the pit bull mentality in the coach's office. No official in their right mind is going to stand for a coach who is trying to play a bully on the sideline. Remember officials have the final say, you are at their mercy not vice versa. It should also be mentioned in this point, officials are humans with real human emotions. As cliche as it sounds the "golden rule" applies even during the heat of competition.

Finally, if God were to give you a bucket of fish, remember you have to distribute those fish or they will rot. Find ways to show you care about providing opportunities for link sbobet  coach and official to get better together. Build off season meetings, tournaments, and camps which allow you to get to know the officials in your association outside the heat of battle.

A strong working relationship with the officials is a key element in finding a successful season. Parents, administrators, and community members expect their coach to be a role model.
