I stop the game to let her gear back up, we are near the sideline, where this dad was and he was giving her crap about getting beaten off the dribble, staying focused, etc. Mid shoe replacement she stands up and yells, "dad, shut the $%*^ up, I lost my shoe for gods sake". It took all I had not to laugh. Couldn't have said it better my self. Of course the other parents were chanting for a T, but there was no way I was going to after that.

Yeah, this is sad. I've had this type at some of my games
too, as we all have probably. I worked a rec game in
December, HS Jrs & Srs. A player missed a layup on a
breakaway and his coach (dad volunteer) was riding him in
an easy, light hearted way. The player yelled "shut the
f&ck up" and gave him the finger. I ejected the kid, the
coach said nothing to me or the kid. I found out later the
kid was the coach's son.
