When I was a young lad getting started in officiating, I had a similar experience. A junior high coach came into our locker room at halftime and chewed on me for a couple of minutes. I didn't do anything for two reasons: 1. I was young and inexperienced. 2. It was my old junior high coach and I was quite shocked he would do this. I regreted not sticking him after the game and ever since. No way it happens now. This is one time I might be inclined to give the stop sign
, out of sight, just stick my hand right in his face and tell him to save it. I would have no problem starting the second half with a T if he didn't comply. If he were the one with the keys to my dressing room and wouldn't open it after the first one, he would be real close to the 2nd one as well.
