OK, I admit it. When I was young and immature, my first season reffing (8th grade), my partner was calling ridiculous crap against a black school, but nothing against the white school. The ball went OOB, and he paused for three seconds before awarding it to the white school. I kid you not, all the coach said was, "If you weren't sure, shouldn't you have called a jump ball?" He yells, "Technical!" The coach replies, "For WHAT?" "Technical number two! You're gone!" Later the coach came out into the gym and sat in the back of the bleachers. The ref stopped play, and YELLED at the coach, "You have to leave the gym!" After the game, I let him have it. Told him he was the most racist person I'd ever met. I'm not proud of that night at all.
