Thank you for the kind words.
I probably would have told the table to give me some time and the game was over after that. Furthermore, depending on what kind of mood I was in at the time, I would have waited for the head coach to leave and then gave the assistant a T.
I'm all for forfeiting games. I tried to forfeit a summer league game last summer. A coach was saying some things and one of my partners conveniently didn't hear him. I gave him one technical and immediately turned away. It was the second half and I was table side on the shooting end. He kept right on talking like he didn't just get a technical foul. Neither one of my partners did anything so I gave him another one. Keep in mind this all started because he was being a jerk about all of our calls. Well, after the second T, the gym was dead silent and on his way out he yelled something about he is glad we don't do his games. I was the only one on the crew who belonged to the board that did his games, he knew this because I had just given him a T during the season. He also said or yelled, "You guys suck!" The game had a little more than two minutes left and the other team was up by about 20. I called the game and went to sit down at the bench with my cool drink. Somehow, my partner got me to not forfeit the game because, "This is a summer game and it is for the kids." This is one of my good friends, but I'm still pissed about that game.
