Rule 4-2-4 Penalty 2(continued)
The coach shall also remove one field player for five minutes of elapsed playing time. The designated field player may properly substitute with another field player provided that the team plays short.
Rationale: To make the penalty for requesting the third time-out more of a punitive infraction to deter coaches from deploying gamesmanship tactics. This also brings the penalty in line with other yellow-card situations.

If the conference results in the official altering the ruling, the opposing coach will be notified by the official, the revision shall be made and the time-out is charged to the official. PENALTY: If the official’s…awarded the opponents.

Use of Cards When used properly, cards are a teaching
tool. By issuing a card, the official informs players, coaches and spectators that an infraction of the rules has occurred and is being addressed. A second similar offense by a teammate may result in the next upgraded card.

Use of Cards (continued)
A red card always results in disqualification of the offender, but does not necessarily result in a penalty stroke. However, flagrant fouls by players, coaches or non-participating team personnel do require red cards and penalty strokes. Officials should use cards as a game management tool.

Officials’ Professionalism The role of an official is one of tremendous
responsibility and requires that the official behave in a professional manner at all times, before, during and after each contest. There are many components to behaving in a professional manner.
Officials are expected to be students of the game, with mastery of the rules and a clear understanding not only of the letter of the rule, but of the spirit and intent of each rule.

Officials’ Professionalism(continued)
Timely arrival at the game, having a neat and clean uniform and appearance, being physically fit, treating coaches and players with respect, administering the rules fairly and equally – all of these contribute to a professional demeanor and make a positive impression on coaches, players and fans.

Officials’ Professionalism(continued)
Officials have a responsibility to enforce the rules in a consistent manner. They do not have the right to create new rules on the field or choose which rules or rules codes they will or will not enforce.
An official’s personal opinion about the validity of a rule should not have an effect on the enforcement of the rule. There is a process in place for rules change. Officials have a voice in this process.

Officials’ Professionalism(continued)
As an integral part of education-based athletics, the official’s role is critical in providing a level playing field for the students and a suitable environment in which coaches can teach and students can learn life-lessons through sport.
As an official, it is important to remember that you represent ALL officials all of the time. You are a role model – be a good one.

Coaches’ Responsibilities Head coaches are both accountable and
responsible for the actions of assistant coaches and all other team personnel. Head coaches must set a good example by being respectful of opponents and game officials.

Coaches’ Responsibilities(continued)
Remember that the head coach is the only coach who can legally communicate with game officials. This communication should be professional and respectful, not personal or derogatory. Coaches do not have “a right” to challenge or dispute decisions made by game officials.

Coaches’ Responsibilities(continued)
Head coaches have many responsibilities. The head coach is responsible for teaching the rules and safe skills to her/his players. The head coach is responsible for ensuring that all players are legally uniformed and equipped in practices and in games.
Coaching is teaching. As teachers, coaches must always model appropriate behavior. Players, assistant coaches and even fans will mirror the behavior of their head coach.

Coaches’ Responsibilities(continued)
Game officials and coaches need to work together. Each contest is another opportunity for coaches and umpires to teach not only field hockey, but also model good sporting behavior as well. The positive values that are learned will serve the players long after their athletic experience has concluded.
Game situations typically provide a coach the opportunity to identify a teachable moment to reinforce good sporting behavior.
