Long story short - report to league, discipline. I thought about not doing his games again. I was very down after that. Held off due to various forum discussions and mentoring talks.

Ironically, tonight, I worked his school again - 1st time since last yr. Don't know if he remembered me - but I remembered him......

He was a completely different coach this yr (or at least this game). Not loud. Questioned no calls. Always positive, encouraging his team, etc. Don't know why he changed - don't care. Could have been any number of reasons.

He shook my hand after the game and told me we did a good job. I told him likewise. Glad I didn't block him. Lesson learned for me.....and him too I hope

I would never blackline an official or coach from one incident -- it would have to be well documented that that person is a verifiable a$$.
