I had a rec league game 6-7th grade girls, working the game with my son, I'm lead, son is trail, player with ball makes a quick move across top of key, coach yells for a travel, I'm kind of watching out for my son, did notice the move, but didn't look like a travel to me, I thought my son had it right, we do have a foul so we're going to be going the other way, play moves down floor, I now am trail right in front of coach, he keeps right on yelling about the travel, play goes back down floor my son is now trail opposite coach, he keeps harping on the travel, "how many steps does she get... how many steps" play now goes down floor and I have coach again, this time "stop" sign goes up, he says "oh great she gets five huh, five steps" I stop sign again and tell coach enough, time to move on. He keeps at it, so give him stop again, keeps it up, "whack" first one, maybe a little slow at giving him what he had earned, so now I put up stop and he keeps going, "don't put up your hand to me" stop sign again "don't put up your hand to me" so this time I tell coach you've had one and you're working on the second, "don't put up your hand to me" this time I whack him again, and tell him he's done for the day and needs to leave the gym. Coach is *****in' and moaning all the way to the door, he stops and leans on the door jamb, like he's settling in for the duration, I tell him no you're gone, out of the building, he turns and huffs out.
The fifty some parents that are there watching give me a standing ovation.
The coach does have a bit of a reputation, and I guess they were glad to see him get something he had been working on for a while.
