I smell what your stepping in!!! The same thing happened to me a few years back. Emotion charged game, goes to overtime, I call an intentional foul on the home squad for pushing a kid in the back with a clear bunny from the low block. End of game after two free throws and the ball. After the game on our way to the dressing room, we have to walk the same direction as the home team. We are waiting to be admitted to the room when the B squad coach comes to us and says "no matter what the head coach says, I think you called a great game". I should have taken that as a warning but thought nothing of it. Then the head coach comes by and shakes our hands and says "good game...you'll never work another f*****g game here again!" I couldn't believe what I had just heard. So I told my partner, "I guess we'll be filing an incident report tonight." I got a call from the A.D. the next morning asking me what happened. I told him and that was it. No apology from the coach or school. I just have never worked another f*****g game there since. Very bush league and I don't care if I work there or not.

I worked at a school last season and it was a strange first quarter -- the first 6 fouls went against the visiting team. The first foul against the home team was a PC foul up top as the guard lowered her shoulder and used it as a battering ram
Unknown to me, the home coach (who just had the first foul called against him out of seven called) turned and told the AD to scratch me. I only found out in the car cause my wife was near the AD in the stands. The coach's attitude filtered down to his players -- I called two player technicals against them in that game.
I saw him on the road this year and it reminded my why I was THRILLED he scratched me last season. If only he could scratch me on the road....
