Early 4th quarter during a dead ball, I just happened to catch some loud, rude comments from the stands - looked up & there's the ejected coach sitting with a couple dads - looking right at us & smirking. I immediately declared the game forfeit in favor of team A, then gathered all the players from both teams & made it clear that it wasn't anything they did, but that sometimes adults just couldn't behave themselves and we had to stop the game as a result.

I only wonder whether you could have found a way to let the kids finish it. I know you let him know the consequences, but I hate to see the kids lose out on playing a game because of this bozo.

Why bend over backwards trying to keep the game going for the kids. An adult has acted in a way that is undermining the game and the kids' effort. This howler is making it about him and not about the kids. These girls also have this coach as a role model. What a shame! At least one official made it panstakingly obvious that this behavior is not acceptable or tolerated. Now the team and the parents are forced to deal with this issue. In my opinion, Any parent that starts another season with this coach after having witnessed his antics is irresponsible.
