Tomegun,
I just turned 22 and just completed my 4th year of being patched. This is the first time I have even come close to dealing with something of this magnitude, despite the fact that I had a full varsity schedule plus 2 district playoff games this year (1st ejection of a coach ever...only other ejection I have had was for a fight).
TimTaylor,
To respond to your post about the procedure, I agree that that part could have been handled a little bit smoother. However, in the situation I was in, things got hostile very very quickly and once I issued the 3rd technical, my only concern was getting off of the court. Further, my partner was 18, 1st year patched, and I definitely was not about to throw him to the wolves so to speak. This was actually the reason why after the 1st intentional foul, since the ball was being inbounded table-side, I administered the throw-in rather than being opposite the table (2-man game) just to keep him away from the irate coaches. I guess that's what I get for trying to protect my partner
