Last night I'm calling 6th grade boys and one coach is riding me and my partner, wants every minor touch called on the other team. Just after the start of the 2nd, I call an obvious puch on one of his players and he yells "Now you call a damn foul". I simply grin and T him. I let him yap a minute then remind him he has lost coaching box priviledges and to sit down. He politely ask if he can stand in front of his seat to talk to his players, I say yes.
After a couple of trips down the floor, the same coach is walking up an down working his team. Honestly, as politely as I can, I remind him he has lost the use of the box. He ask "Have you read the rules covering the box?". At the same time the ball goes out of bounds, so I turn to him and say "Coach you are one sentence away from being done for the season" (In this league, if a coach is tossed he is out for 4 games and they only have 4 left in this short season). He turns a little pale and sits for the game. Now I wish I would have ran him.
