Jeremy, how do you reconcile these two statements? First, you say that you didn't assess a T for his behavior; your crew was too experienced to do that. But then your advice to other officials is not to tolerate his behavior? Well, which is it? I honestly don't understand. If you think that you handled him correctly, by not giving the T, then why should other officials give a T in similar circumstances?

My advice is to fight it, or find another league to ref in.
Why fight it? They obviously don't want him and have enough clout to make things miserable for him. Who would want to work in those circumstances? If it were me, I would simply find another youth league to work.

But in other situation, other coaches were seen calling him DURING GAMES on their cell phones to complain/offer concerns about officiating
Jeremy, how in the world could you know what they were talking about on the cell phone? I doubt that the coach himself told you, although I guess that's possible. I would be slow to make comments like that, simply b/c they make you sound paranoid. Especially if I didn't have first-hand knowledge of the content of their conversations. Just my opinion,

Chuck
