Please let me elaborate. I am doing the varsity contest and I get to the JV game before half time ( as we are suppose to ) the JV ref isn't feeeling well and asks if I would do the 2nd half of the JV game. No problem, I like to double up most of the time anyway. It get's me more focused before the varsity game. When I come out on the floor ( and I had a good half time report of how the game was going from my partner ) The visitors were winning by 12 points. Overall, the game is going well, but there are a lot of fouls on both teams. We are in the bonus before the end of the 3rd quarter. We have 2 offensive fouls on the home team, both good calls. ( I called one ) The visiting coach is complaining about every call ( except the ones that go his way. )
Starting the 4th quarter the home team has cut the lead to 4. In the fourth quarter, There is a lot of reaching in to steal the ball or to get a jump ball. On the throw in in backcourt B2 ( visitor ) reaches in and grabs A1's arm but A1 controls and pulls away. I got nothing. A1 says "get your hands off of me" B1 starts mouthing off and continues to mouth off past half court. I couldn't hear everything but I heard enough to know, it was unsportsmanlike conduct and I "T" her up. The visitor goes jumps up and says " Why are you even here?" , "We would be better off if you had never come out of the locker room" I look at him and say "coach do you want a "T" also?" He controls himself and says " no seriously, why are you here?" I explain the situation and all is fine. He still complains off and on through the rest of the game, but not worthy of a "T"
Home team takes the lead and it goes back and forth till Home team takes a 3 point lead and wins the game. As I am leaving the floor visiting coach makes another comment about my officiating and he seems to think that we ripped him off. IF his team had a 2 point lead, I would have "T"ed him up for the comment.
I love how it's always the officials fault. It has nothing to do with players throwing bad passes, taking bad shots or not playing defense. It's the referees fault that they lose.
And we wonder why they have an attitude....

I think this line said a lot -- call the foul for the grab of the hand -- who cares if the offensive player pulled away -- your lack of calling this foul led to A1 talking to B1 -- who talked back -- where you didnt like what B1 was doing after A1 initiated the smack because of a no call on B1 and you end up Ting up B1 when a personal foul here could have prevented this.
also after a coach complains about 3 or 4 calls in a row he/she will hear from me that I will not tolerate the questioning of every call. then if they complain about the next one or the next 2 they will be sitting the rest of the game and its up to them if they want to finish the game from the locker room or actually try and coach. That choice is theirs and I was nice enough to offer it to them.
But here it seems like you let it escalate to the point it got to and you want sympathy -- sorry I agree with the others you let the coach get to that point. however I agree with nocalling that last T -- no need to go plumbing
