Even in a JV game, don't go looking for the ball after the last buzzer. You have no responsibility to go fetch it for the table. It will help you avoid issues. That being said, where I used to work, I could have whacked her, ejected her, and she would have missed her next game. (State rules in Washington.) But filing the report will hopefully have the same effect.

I refereed a Varsity game where my partner ejected the entire JV game. They mouthed off during a game, my partner told the coach that they could wait in the bus. No argument from the coach, the girls were escorted out of the gym to the bus until the Varsity game was over.

Also, I know there's lots of arguement about ignoring the score when officiating, but this is an exception. Team Z, with their behavior, gets no slack from me. Everything even questionable gets called on them. Zero tolerance.

I am curious as to where the JV team was sitted in relation to the varsity bench. The reason I ask is that in Ohio, if the JV team is sitting on the varsity bench during the varsity game, the players are considered bench personnel. In Ohio, players and coaches who are ejected from game are suspended for two games if it is their first ejection of the season and suspended for the rest of the season if it is their second ejection of the season, plus the coach and his principal get to have a personal meeting with the Commissioner in Columbus after the coach's second ejection.
