Did a semi-pro game where we had a pretty good scuffle and some ejections: after the first punch was thrown, I just stood back & started writing down numbers. After everybody calmed down & we sorted things I out, I reported my ejections; One of the players that I witnessed throwing a punch early in the "event" was #20 white. When I reported it, the wing from the far sideline knew that white had two #20's. He went & found the one guy--he had remained on the far sideline during the altercation and the other #20 was one of the captains who supposedely had helped "break it up". So the rest of the crew decided that I must have called the wrong number. I know that a white #20 was fighting; in contrast, there was a white jersey player that I never did get the number on--I could see the second numeral was a "1" but I wasn't going to guess at it--fortunately another offciial got him. What am I supposed to tell the coach on my side on something like this?
