Note: There is a great article written by wrestlingref.com, and posted here on our site, regarding the difference between coach misconduct or unsportsmanlike conduct.
(NFHS 7-5-n) A coach is permitted to request a conference at the scorer’s table regarding a misapplication of a rule.
Coaches Misconduct:
If:
- The official agrees some type of error occurred
- Take Action to Correct
Else:
- No misapplication of the rule
- The coach questions the judgement of the referee
- Official calls a Coaches Misconduct
Remember that Coaches Misconduct can only occur at the scorer’s table. Officials should not continually stop the match to explain everything. “If the coach wants to discuss something in his corner, ask him if he would like to take the discussion to the table. A smart coach is likely to sit down or learn to pick his battles.”
Unsportsmanlike Conduct:
Unsportsmanlike conduct applies to coaches, assistants, wrestlers, trainers and other team personnel, before, during and after a match. A referee must learn to balance the flow of the match, friendly bantering and chirping and unsportsmanlike conduct. As an official, you should be patient and not be influenced by the coach’s comments. If the bantering and chirping becomes disruptive and a constant distraction, the official should penalize someone for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
If an argument ensues, the coach could be called for Flagrant Misconduct.
