Be careful about asking the "home" principal to kick out the "visiting" principal. You could be opening a Pandora's Box if you do so. I heard of one incident where that happened (and I can't reveal the details because it almost jeopardized an assigning contract), and the state activities association and the state principals/administration association had to step in. I guess what ended up happening was both teams forfeited the game (a double forfeit), the officials were told they could not officiate for either school for a certain amount of time, AND both principals lost their board/committee assignments in the principals' association. If you think the nastiness AFTER the game was bad, from what I heard, the nastiness in the gym when it happened was even worse. The officials ended up having to eject a few players and a couple coaches because they decided what happened off the court was going to spill onto the court. Nothing good comes of it when you ask a principal to remove a visiting administrator.
