He was OK until the end of the game when he started again about a no call from my partner. The coach then continued to talk about us to his players. He was staying because at this point his team was losing by about 36. So the coach and his assistant start to give me the "don't take this away from the kids ref."
Coaches and players will do whatever we let them do for the most part. If they are consistently dealt with the smart players and coaches will change their behavior.

And if they aren't consistently dealt with, coaches won't change their behavior and then they'll be openly talking about the officials to their players. [/B]

Exactly, which is why I talked to him so his players could hear me on purpose. At that point in the game, ejecting him would have been useless. Talking to him and sending the message that what he was saying wasn't alright was the best thing to do to get the game over with. [/B][/QUOTE]
Not that I'd do it in all situations, but I was doing a youth league game and we had a blowout. The losing team was completely overmatched, and their coach kept chipping about calls, I had finally heard enough and while putting the ball in play near their bench I said, while pointing to the scoreboard, "Coach we have NOTHING to do with that score, so stop looking for excuses."
He stopped talking about calls after that and I did not have to T him.
