At least HS has structure and a system in place for enforcement of rules and regulations. AAU goes tourney by tourney so what one coach does on the last game of a tourney wont carry over -- like getting ejected.
Actually, this is the perfect place to work on this type of thing. The coaches was trying to (lack of a better word) punk you by going to your partner and getting your decision reversed. Have you heard the saying, it's not always nice to fool with mother nature? Repalce mother nature for official working your game. Now we just wait. When you hear them say, TRAVEL! TRAVEL! THAT'S A FOUL! Beep! Technical foul, AC! Now you must remain seated, oh, and please don't forget to say that right after giving them the T.

Your objective here was 1 of 2 things. You can both stand up but you better not say a word directed at me, or only one of you is going to stand up and coach this game. Consider it a success if only one coach is standing at one time. I personnally don't like to pick fights in this area, but once you stated AC couldn't stand. The line was drawn. Don't fool with mother nature.

Fast forward to this past weekend -- for the most part he never said anything rude to me (you see JRUT, this was not an irate coach!) and I will be honest first sign of trouble he was not going to get a warning. Now you're think right... I would have T'd him up for standing the second time if my partner hadnt said it was ok.
