bigwes I would consider his act flagrant and you tossing him was probably appropriate. One thing to keep in mind as the R and it usually avoids problems although it may not in your case.

In my preGame meeting with coaches I always tell them they're in good hands with my crew. I say things like "let's keep the lines of communications open...if you have a question about a ruling please ask me and I'll give you an explanation." I go on to say that I'll do this if it doesn't disrupt the game and if it's a technical rule that I feel warrants explanation I'll always stop the game (I rarely go that far - maybe only once or twice). It goes a long way in my mind in building a rapport with a coach.

forksref - we too have 1 point PAT's. It's not to encourage 9-year olds to kick. The football league knows they can't kick and wants to allow for PATs to remain part of their game so they allow for a 1-point conversion via normal scrimmage play and 2 points for a kick. Our seniors (8th / 9th graders) we use normal Fed Try rules.
