I had a bad situation last night and hope to get some input from you guys.
7/8th grade boys games. 2nd quarter things start to get ugly. A1 gets a steal and heads the other way and, once he gets into the lane, drops his shoulder and charges right through the (moving) defender. I call a PC foul and a section of the crowd starts riding me for it. No big deal, happens from time to time. Then, one possession later, a steal by A2, as he is driving in....he extends his off arm into the defender, I call another PC foul. As I do so, the school's principal (also the game administrator) runs to half court as I'm heading the other way and tells me that I need to "get control of this game or it's going to get ugly in here". I took that as meaning he thought the home team was getting the short end of the calls (mind you, the foul count was even in the home team's favor!).
Anyhow, a minute or two later, B1 is bringing the ball up the court and has only one foot in the frontcourt then goes back to the backcourt. Again, this section goes off and it's getting personal at this point as they feel I'm cheating them
So, at the next dead ball, I go (calmly) and was going to tell the fans that they need to keep their language in check if they want to stick around. Before I get there the principal butts in and said that he was "taking care of it". He also again added that I need to "take control of the game" and told me that I was "struggling right now". Completely unnecessary, IMO.
What all would you guys have done in this situation? Should I file a report? Game administration is supposed to be on our side and it's completely unprofessional for them to escalate the situation.
