Hey everyone.... Had a situation today that is really on my mind and I need some criticism and or support for my decision.
Sectional NJ CYO 7-8 Boys 3rd and 4th playoff championship game
A Green
8 players strong, no height B White
10 players strong, all height
My situation is a building one so here it goes (sorry about the long thread
)
1st Quarter
Green is down by 10; coach is yapping all quarter about travels, fouls, keeps on screaming shot, AND ONE!!!) And no foul was called
So, my partner and I mostly ignore it since we didnt want to eject or penalize a team for their coachs behavior. We keep on telling the coach, (HEY REF did you see that foul?) that wasnt a foul coach
etc
2nd Quarter
Sloppy playing both teams, shooting double bonus
No incidents
Green down by 8
3rd Quarter
Green is down by 6; A1 is running up court parallel to B1, and A1 runs into traffic and falls down
Really no call, since no one had the ball, no one had possession since they were all moving so I and my partner let it go
Were talking about four players who basically just bumped into each other
No one falls down; no one looks hurt they all just play on
(Keep in mind this was not a washout then keep moving, this was just bumping)
A1 is down on the court (in front of his bench) and the coach screams that sure looked like a foul to me, didnt it to you?) At this point Im just ignoring the coach
and A1 turns and says sure did, this ref is blind, he has no clue what hes doing out here
Unbelievable!!! This guy is Unbelievable!!!
TWEET got A1 for T and B shoots 2 (makes none)
Later on
A1 is playing and walking to the bench for a substitution
Im across the court at the free throw line extended on the sideline ready to inbound the ball and A1 walks back onto the court and says Ref, YOU SHOULD JUST DIE, I HOPE YOU DIE
TWEET got him again
B shoots 2 makes 1
then the debate is how the A coach says I cant T his player since hes not on the court
etc
Then the coach starts with his bickering (and I quote)
what is this your first time? Do you even know how to blow a whistle? Your ridiculous
your unbelievable
Instead of whacking the coach, I told him thats ENOUGH COACH
and play went on
4th Quarter
Green down by 20; I find out that A1 is now back on the court after being DQed
The other coach lets it go and we continue
This coach didnt know about 2 Ts he sits
Its just been bothering me all night (game was at 2)
I wouldnt of changed anything but I dont know
I guess I should have gotten the coach first but he was alone and again this was the semi-final (3rd/4th place game) so I didnt want to take the ball out of anyones hands
End of game - Coach comes up to me (with A1) and asks what did he say... Told him... Your unbeli. where did you learn to ref? etc... Then my partner jumps in and says "Well did you say he should die" - coach goes - NOT THE POINT! "Thanks for loosing us the game!"
Any comments?
