Two different games, one after the other. First game the losing team ws getting killed. Two parents came up to me after the game and asked me if I knew that twop teams were playing in that game. I responded, "Yes, one was wearing black and the other was wearing teal." They looked at me puzzeled and I walked away. Second game was a 6th grade girls game and it was a pretty tight game, the two teams had played before and it resulted in a one point victory for, we'll say Team A. About 7:00 mins. of running clock were left when I had to stop the clock and have the man in the front row escorted out of the gym. It started innocent as it usually does, a fan of Team A didn't like my calls (of course) and was complaining. When he began yelling, "You SUCK!" at the top of his lungs I stopped the clock and had him escorted out of the gym. The entire way out he kept yelling, "You suck you redneck! You're a redneck and you suck!" Not that this matters but this gentlemen, I use that loosly, was a black man and it appered to me he was trying to get me to stoop to his level if you know what I mean. Luckily I do not have a very quick wit so I couldn't come up with anythig to reply which is probably for the best. Come to find out from another official he is a HS coach and his team was kicked out of their league because of his attitude. Just think, people like this are shaping our kids. Anyway, game continues without incident and Team B wins by two, a girl hit a three in a two point game with under 30 seconds to go and then only hit 1 of 4 FT's.
