| Go To Responses | Coaches: Make the Call Posted By: Futbol3 On 10/8/2009 8:41:42 AM Team A is up 3-0 well into the second half, dominating at both ends of the pitch. Team B has no subs available. Player from Team A commits a foul - no card or anything, just a hard foul. Team B kid is hurt, Team B coach comes onto the field and checks him out. Team B player is wobbly, but due to no available subs shakes it off and appears to be willing/able to continue. Ref has yet to indicate anything other than the foul. If you are the Coach from Team A do you: a) Jump up and down and scream that the rule is that since the coach came onto the field to attend to the kid, the player must come out of the game until the next substitution? (thereby making Team B play a man down for a spell) b) Sit quietly and let the Ref make the call without your assistance. To be clear, I know Team A's coach was correct about the rule, and do not blame the Ref one bit for making the call he had to make (no way to know what he would have done without such enthusiastic input). Maybe I just don't have that "killer instinct" - I'm just curious what other coaches might do in a similar situation, or what parents would expect their coaches to do. | 9 | 10/10/2009 9:01:41 AM |
