Hypothetical example: A coach has not accepted an offered gift and asks the designated official to apply the current program policy before replying to the parent.

01Leave acceptance open while you check the rules

Pause acceptance and record the actual offer without inferring motive.

02Identify whose policy actually governs this role

Find the current gift and conflict rules for the actual role.

03Keep the gift question separate from the athlete decision

Obtain and follow the designated official's direction.

04Close the loop with a truthful explanation

Communicate the outcome and retain the appropriate program record.
