I have been entirely too lenient on coaches and have taken way to much bull. You did the right thing by tossing him. He probably still rides the refs, however, he knows he is not going to get away with it with you. I have changed my attitude as of late and will no longer accept what I have in the past. As a new varsity ref (2nd year varsity - 7 total), I was too worried about ratings. I've since learned that if he/she is riding you, the rating will more than likely be terrible anyway. I might as well get some satisfaction by giving the coach what he has earned!
