This story is from a youth game where my local midget assn worked a game where a referee was assaulted. I worked the same team a week or two later and learned about it in my preGame meeting with coaches.

The only thing I don't believe in this story is the official pushing the coach. If he did I'm sure it was because he felt he had to defend himself. Pat's a pretty good guy and has worked in our midget program for years and he's one of those guys who you never hear negative things about. I have worked with him several times and he's a pretty solid official. I have also worked with the team involving this coach, and yes, this coach is indeed a hothead! I'm glad his wallet got a little lighter.
