She shows up with blind glasses, a referee uniform and a whistle on. I informed the league officials and they told me to "get her name". The coaches (and of course this is his wife) found it appalling that I even mentioned the fact that his wife was disrespectful.

In an AAU game, in a gym with 6 courts, there wasn't a lot of room for the fans to sit so they had to sit on the bench side. At first I wanted them to move but when I saw there was no place for them to sit altogether. I just let them stay there but I informed the coach I don't want to hear anything from them. There team lost and it was a pretty good game, 2 best 17U teams and they took it personal. Emotions ran out of control. Partner had a bad game and they where going to let him know about it. I remember I tried to protect him and just get him out of the gym, but then their anger turned on me. It was a good game that went bad with the parents in the end. Not much you can do about it when the facility doesn't give you enough room to seat the fans.
