RecRef, if the administrator turned to police to escort the referee out of the gym, I would hope he'd lose his administrative and teaching certificate/license and be blackballed to the point he/she couldn't get a job in education anywhere. This would go to the point that administrators have to know where to draw the line.

It sounds like the administrator in the original posting decided he agrees with the people who pays his salary more than the referee. If that becomes a habit, then my suggestion would be noone qualifies for an educational administrator certificate without becoming a sports official on top ot it. I know what I just said is probably blasphemous, but I don't care. There are some administrators out there who don't belong in the chair they were hired to fill.
