The FED has had the same guidelines in the rules for many years, telling us how to deal with situations like this. Imo, they're valid and should be followed.
-Simply have game management remove the parent. Stop the game until that is done. If nobody from game management is present, it's the responsibility of the coach of the home team.
- Never call a technical foul on any team unless there are completely extreme circumstances. One doofus parent yapping ain't extreme circumstances. And unlike Junior, I really don't think that it's necessary to penalize a team of 10-year old girls just because one of their parents is a jerk. In AAU/rec games, you'd be T-ing up teams almost every game.The daughter of that parent has already been punished enough; she's been completely embarrassed by her mother's actions.
- If you do have extreme game problems that can't be brought under control, suspend the game rather than forfeit it. Let the proper governing body deal with the fallout. Write a complete game report and fuggedaboutit.
JMO. The FED guidelines are in the case book under 2.8.1.
