Anyway, one of the other schools at this site is also from our area and in the same conference as the host school. Visiting team lost to the host school last weekend. Coach of the visiting school somehow got the e-mail addresses of the three officials who will be working his game tonight and sent them all video clips from the game last weekend. The clips showed plays he thought were called wrongly and asked how they would be called Friday night so he could coach his team to be ready for the game.
No one can figure out how he got all three of these official's home e-mail addresses, but all three are pretty upset about it. As is the assignor - who called the Conference Commissioner and informed him. Commish is now pissed at the coach. I guess there was a conference call at 8:00 this morning between assignor, commish, coah and AD...
So...anyone ever hear of anything like this before? Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do, but then this coah ain't exactly the smartest one around...

Yup; I've heard of this before. There's currently an issue on the table in Ontario where a coach phoned an official
at home and was verbally abusive.
The official properly directed the coach to the proper channel and then hung up. There is an open investigation into the matter that may affect service provided for a summer league.
The stupidest thing that a coach can do is something like your coach did above...
