Weekend ref.

For a coach to be ejected he needs any of the following combinations of directs and indirects.

1. 1 flagrant T. (You can eject on one technical if you think a single act warrants it. Doesn't happen often.)

2. 2 Direct T's.

3. 1 Direct T and 2 Indirect T's.

4. 3 Indirect T's.

So, to answer your question, I need to know how many T's the assistant had? You said you wound up "running" the A$$'t coach. Do you mean you just T'd him? Or do you mean he got ejected for Two t's. If he got two T's and the HC had one already, then the HC should have been ejected as well.

Was there another coach? If not, they may have had to forfeit a game they were winning handily.

JR said it well, but it bears repeating. No one is allowed to question your calls. By rule, they are specifically prohibited from doing so. Good game management includes cutting them some slack here, but there is nothing that says you have to cut the slack or that you have to cut it to everyone.

If the HC continues to be a brat, simply tell him that since he is demanding you treat his entire coaching staff equally, you will not tolerate any questioning disrespect from his bench; from him or his assistant; per rule 10-4-1.
