I guess she didn't bother me as much as she would have bothered other officials. After reading everyone's posts, if put in the same situation again, I would gladly afford her the opportunity to sit for the rest of the game.  |
It's not about whether or not she 'bothered' you, it's about her absolute disregard for anything even approaching proper sportsmanship. Does it 'bother' you when a player travels? Nope, you just make the call. Same thing here.

Interesting side note . . . after the game, her "assistant" (the freshman coach) came out on the floor and asked for my name and my co-officials name. I declined to give it to her, and told her she could, or her Head Coach could, contact the Tournament Director, as it was clear to me she only wanted to complain about the officiating. What would others have done in this situation?

"My name's in the book coach."
If this is a aau tourney where my name wouldn't be in the book I tell them the director has my name.
