Yes, he was as frantic on the sidelines as ever, ranting at his coaches (and he had a lot) and the 4th official as ever.

In answer to your question Mike, in theory you're only allowed one coach in the technical area, apart from when someone's doing paperwork for subs, preparing the board, quickly conferring, etc, but some refs don't enforce it while others do. Who knows what Coy enforces - certainly not yellow cards for fouls! Ryan Dicker was down at times (normally he and Kenny sit where Dario used to, observing the play from above) but in other games spends more thime there. Fred Barber always sets the subs board, but otherwise is on the bench.
A word about the ref, he was consistent throughout the game. And I liked that he waved play on most of the time when someone was on the floor. Doesn't happen often enough for me.
