Making Contact With An Official

A first happened tonight! You see it all the time in the NBA and recently in the Virgina Tech game but this was a first in the high school game. Team A calls a 30 second timeout, player a was mad because he got trapped in the corner and wanted a foul, so I go to report the timeout and as im standing there the kid who was mad walks behind me and hits me in the back, not brushed but made me turn. I could not get the whistle in my mouth quick enough to blow the T.

Coach ask for an explination. I tell him, your player hit me right in the back and he says he doesn't believe he would do that on purpose, I tell him I would of thought it was unintentional if he would of said excuse me. But no he hits me in the back then walks to his huddle to listen to his coach.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

First T in the 3 years that I've been officiating I may add varsity or college. What a way to give out the first one
