			So being young I decided to pick up some extra cash 25 a game, pick up a 5th grade girls, easy right. Well the assignor did not tell me I would be working with a first year ref. Well things explode after the game. I will include my report I sent the assignor tell me what you thing the penalty should be for this assistant. 
 
Note I am changing team names along with coaches names: 
 
Please consider this my game report. 
Game was Team A V  Team B 5th grade A 
division (Both teams from the same school)  The Head coach of the team 
causing problems is Coach, (Coach's daughter and son 
worked the table the next set of games, and claimed 
the assistant was CoachA, but this is second hand 
knowledge and may be wrong.) 
 
The game went well until the very end. with just about 
a minute left in the game, game was tied. Body's team decides they 
want to role the ball down to the mid-court line to 
save time ( the other team showed no sign of pressing) 
I administered the ball and she rolled it on the line. 
I blew my whistle and signaled the other way due to 
the violation. As I was turning around out of the 
corner of my eye  I see 31 from Coach's team throw the 
ball very hard at my feet in an obvious manner as a 
way of saying I am upset. I gave out a T, no question 
in my mind she deserved it in fact the players father 
came up after the game, asked what she got the T for 
and when I explained he said nothing. I then hear 
Coach Body yelling and making a scene about it 
including the words " that is ridiculous." I gave him 
a T and things settled down. The opposing team 
attempted the 4 shots and then was given the ball at 
the mid-court line. They eventually loose the ball out 
of bounds under there basket. I then take my place at the mid-court line 
for the throw in and my rookie partner administers the 
throw in. As I am watching I watch Coach's team again 
roll the ball over the line. I whistle and signal the 
other way. CoachA makes a little noise but thats about it.( as I do with all of 
the rookies I work with I follow the ball most of the 
time and am out of my " zone" most of the time.) The game then ended. Before even going over to shake the other teams hand CoachA came over to yell at me. He finally left and 
shook the other teams hands,( at this time I had a hunch he was comming back and told the table personell to listen in and take notes of what he said, I also told my rookie partner not to say anything and to just stand behind me( I did not want her to have to be envolved in this) and then he returned to me. He continually asked for my name and I showed it to 
him on the score sheet. He then said he was going to 
call my assignor and report me. This was not the end of it. He 
then felt that he needed to chew me out. He opened by 
saying in 40 years of basketball he had never yelled 
at an offical or had ever been so disgusted. He then 
followed this by saying "that I should hang up my 
shirt and whistle and coach lacrosse" He continued to 
ramble on and I tried to ignore him. I never said a 
word to him. He then said that I was a disgrace to the 
game of basketball and to officials. He then tried to 
get me to say from which parish I went to church ( this 
seems odd since it was a game between the same parish) I never gave 
him an answer as I did not wish to speak to him since 
he was so out of control. After his arguing for a few 
minutes I became a little uncomfortable as to what 
would come next as he showed no signs of cooling off 
and I called the assignor on his cell phone. He told me that he 
was only a few minutes out, had a few moments before 
his next game and would be over. I then told the 
Coach A and he left me alone ( at this point the head coach who was listining in, and who never said a word left and was never seen again. When the assignor showed up CoachA was there to meet him and after what looked like exchanging a few words with him both coachA 
and my asssignor approached me. I then told my assignor the entire 
situation with the coach there and besides trying to 
make me tell certain details, which i did for everyone 
he asked. He never disagreed with what I had to say nor that the call was wrong, he was still upset that I called in my partners area. 
my assingor finally told him to leave the gym immediately. 
 
It was a crazy game. If your are from the STL area and want specifics about the assignor and stuff it makes the story better, just pm me.
