Look you're right I don't know and I already conceded the fact that this is MS girls and not boys, but again does she? Does she go to practices? Know all the other aspects of the coach/player relationship?
If she knows these girls and the situation so well as to get involved emotionally, then why is she working their games? This is exactly why we shouldn't, she's not objective.
The OP obviously started this thread seeking comment. The consensus of the posts of this thread (not just mine) say leave it alone. Her (and your) emotional closeness is clouding her (and your) objectivity.

There is not a consensus to leave it alone. Several have said it might be appropriate to make a comment to the AD. Several others have said to whack for the clipboard thing, and for any profanity.
Why is she working a MS game with girls that she knows? Because it's a small town area where it's hard to find any refs at all to work any games much less MS girls (which certain refs might refuse).
And btw, the so-called-REFVA's of the world ARE letting this go on. They aren't stopping it. I as the ref don't have the right to yell at them, or even confront them, or even to confront the coach directly about this. But I would certainly take advantage of a relationship with the AD to express my opinion, and I believe it's my obligation to do so.
I didn't say I'd "handle it" or "deal with it" or "interfere". I can't, I have no authority. And I didn't say I would or should. What I said was that I'd express an opinion to someone who can deal with it.
That doesn't mean I'm letting my emotions get the better of me. It means I"m being a human being with ... alright, I"ll say it... empathy for other human beings. THere's certainly nothing wrong with that.
