isu,
If you ever have a problem with a coach (not FED rules here, remember USSF) there isn't a card. You just go to the bench and politely tell them good-bye.
I always first let them know there's a problem by asking, "Coach, is your assistant ready to take over?" After their response, I will add, "If ______ keeps up.... or "If you continue to_______ then your day is done."
If the coach persists, just tell him his prsene is no longer needed on the sidelines and let him know he has to go."
Only once in my many years have I been loud and vocal with a coach. That coach is also a HS ref ... one I've worked with .... and the worst I have ever seen. The assisgnor sent me to a tournament onece with the specific instruction to shut him up. The league had hand enough of him and the younger referees hadn't known how to handle him. The first time he yelled at me I looked at him and yelled from 15 yards away, "Knock it off,___." He said he wasn't going to, so again I yelled from about 15 so that everyone on the field and on the sidelines could hear, "One more word and I'll toss you out of here and you know I will."
He was quiet the rest of the game.
Card them in HS. Not in USSF?
