He/she sits one Frosh Game. In the meantime they can't coach the Varsity Team until the suspension is served. At this point I think my officiating career is over unless I move to another state.

It's not worth the heat. Kind of like pulling the Police Chief over and writing him a ticket on a Sunday when he's not working.
Would be really funny if an AD from another school or a HS assignor was at that game watching his freshman child playing, wouldn't it? What do you think your chances of getting another game anywhere would be if he/she witnessed your lack of bench decorum management?

The minute you use the word "only" to describe the level of game you are officiating is the exact moment you need to stop officiating that level of ball. And I'm not making a value judgement here. Just saying if a certain level of basketball is in the "only" category why would you continue to ref it.

And another question, since when are we supposed to keep track of other "titles" of the bench personnel? I assume anyone sitting on the bench not wearing a uniform falls in one of 4 categories: Head Coach of that team; assistant coach of that team; injured player; trainer.
