I called in an AAU tournament this weekend, and had to put up with a bunch of bologna. I called a techinical foul on one of the coaches "star" players. A1 was trying to show off on a dunk, and grabbed the rim first, then tried to dunk. I called a "calm" tech. Nevertheless, the Team A coach argues, saying A1 was trying to protect himself. I say no. After the game, Team A won, coach says as I carry the ball to the scorers table, "You know where you can stick that ball, up your....." He doesn't finish the sentence. I'm trying to work on letting that go in one ear and out the other, so I do nothing, but let him be a jerk. I love this job!
