I am of the opinion that we are a brotherhood...even if we don't like what a fellow official is doing/calling. The other parents on your team know you are an official and they already think ALL officials are blind and don't know the rules. Now you start yelling at the officials and only reinforce their thinking. I go to my kids games and see all kinds of things I don't agree with but I never say a word. If they come to me later and ask I always preface my comments with "of course I didn't have the same look you did but this is what I thought". Being an official has somewhat distanced me from being an overzealous fan.

Now to answer your question...I had this happen and had a fellow official removed. I never brought it up with that official and never will. I know this official is a very smart person and I truly believe they realized what they did was inappropriate. If this person brings it up then we will discuss it and hopefully it will be a professional conversation. Since this happened there has been enough opportunities and it has not been brought up so I doubt it ever will.

What would I do if this happened again? I would handle it almost the exact same way. The game management would be notified that this overzealous fan has to leave and I would wait til he brought it up. The only thing I would change from the first time is to make sure I notified the assignor right away. This was just brought up at a recent meeting so I'm sure those in attendence will not be doing any of this nonsense.
