Tonight my partner dealt with a varsity coach who has on multiple occasions frustrated officials. This school and his team dominate just about every team they play and in unsportsmanlike fashion. In the JV game this varsity was the AC and he decides he is going to make a comment about the the overall foul count of the game. "You've called one foul on blue all night long," we chose to ignore this very first statement out of him all night long. Then we have a foul on blue and as we rotate he begins to clap his hands very condescendingly and very loudly in a quiet gym. My partner then tells him that we do not need that in this game. He then gives a very quiet official warning. The coach does not like the statement from him and starts to argue with him by saying things like "what am I doing, I did not do anything I am just clapping my hands." As they are having this conversation he decides he is going to pull out his phone and begin recording him and everything he is saying to him. My partner then tells him he cannot record and he hands his phone to somebody not on the bench. He then leaves the JV game to go take care of his varsity team.

Varsity game begins.He is now the HC on this game. We get to 4 minutes into the 1st quarter when we have double whistle and a block call on his team. He and the AC both get up out of their seats and start making comments like wow, really, that's ridiculous. Having had them before I did not even bother trying to talk to them about this behavior since they would not listen and gave the bench an official warning. He then wants to discuss why it was a blocking call on his team. I told him no we are done tonight and you have lost that privilege. He then asks my partner how many timeouts he can call in a row my partner tells him 2. They discuss the call during the first timeout then he calls a second timeout and this is where the conversation begins. He starts making statements to my partner like why am I always targeted by you guys, we are always treated unfairly and not given the calls we should get, I just want you guys to to call the game by the book exactly how it is written in the book and administer the Technical fouls and everything else by the book, we are mistreated every single game, is it my face,I am going to beat this team by 70 points, is it the way I dress? So they discuss this for 13 minutes all the while the opposing team is getting frustrated and comes over and says can we play the game now? My partner ignores her and continues his conversation with the coach. I had gone over multiple times to break up the conversation saying we have a game going on and we need to continue this game, I was ignored as well. Meanwhile I am talking to my supervisor about this conversation and he says tonight he is just a bystander and cannot do anything about it. Then the AD comes over and finally stops the conversation after my partner explained to him several times this games is this game and has nothing to do with other games and you can talk to the officials at the appropriate time. He then gets so fed up with it he sits on the bench and covers his ears with his hands. I then pointed out to the AD who had asked us earlier about how he can help diffuse these situations and what he needs to tell the coach that this is the exact kind of "childish behavior we deal with night and night out with him and why we have a hard time with him." This finally ends and we move on and not another peep was heard from the HC the rest of the night.
