None of us can really judge what was really going on because we weren't there, we can, however, pull from our own experiences in similar circumstances. The assistants behavior at these types of games is horrible in many circumstances. I believe we all need to make a genuine attempt to educate them as to what will be tolerated, then take care of business. If we all worked together, which won't happen, it would be easier for those of us determined to do it right. I have promised myself that when I work these non-scholastic sanctioned tournaments this summer that I will not put up with the assistant coaches getting out of line. It distracts me very much when I have two people up and down the sideline yelling at me or the kids. I am talking about continuosly up throughout the game, not just an isolated incident here or there. I think you did what you had too, Drake. 1) You asked them to sit the assistant 2) You took care of business when you had had enough 3) You were showed up by the guy and that is not acceptable, so you took care of business again. As far as what the lady said, she obviously doesn't know didly. Even if you are more thin-skinned than some of the refs they are seeing in these tournaments, that is probably because you are confident enough to know how much to let go before making a stand, some of the other officials they are seeing will barely blow the whistle, much less know anything about game management.
