No Good Deed Goes Unpunnished!

I had Saturday night off I thought at least until 4:00 PM
I get a great game - two top ten teams from different states Girls Varsity
Out about 90 minute drive beyond the country.

7:00 start time I feel a little rushed but arrive in plenty of time. We pre-game well
Take the floor and I swear the Team A coach doesn’t quit screaming at his players the entire time we are on the floor, you can hear this guy above both bands cheer leaders and the music they are blasting from the speaker system.

He is quiet during introductions and the anthem
I am at mid court awaiting the toss I can hear what he says in the huddle.
The toss goes up
Team A controls and A1 drives through two stationary defenders and
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S A REACH”
He continually screams instructions to his girls
A1 passes to a wide open A2 who trips over the ball thrown at her feet
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S A PUSH”
Team B recovers loose ball and moves up court,
B2 stands top of the 3-point line dribbling from right to left hand
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S A CARRY”
B2 blows by A2, is picked up by A1 who is brushed off on a perfect screen by B4
Coach from Team A screams “MOVING SCREEN”
B2 misses a Jump shot, A5 rebounds
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S OVER THE BACK”
He continually screams instructions to his girls
A3 brings the ball up the floor
Team B is in a tight 2 - 3 zone, A3 trys to penetrate but stops short of the 3 point line
Coach from Team A screams “GET HER HANDS OFF HER”
He continually screams instructions to his girls
A3 kicks a pass to A2 who takes a wide open 3 misses as a defender runs by her and off for the fast break
Coach from Team A screams “THERES A FOUL”
B5 Gets the rebound and kicks out to B3 the ball hits her in the shoulder then hits the floor, she grabs it then dribbles
Coach from Team A screams “DOUBLE DRIBBLE”
B3 gets the ball to mid court passes to B4 upper lane, who leaves the floor under pressure and passes to B1 in the corner.
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S A TRAVEL”
B1 Launches a shot that hits the rim bounces up and over to the opposite side, I swear A 5 is the only one on that side of the basket and she rebounds
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S OVER THE BACK”
A5 turns to let the out let pass go and throws it over the head of A2 in to team A’s bench
Coach from Team A screams “SHE GOT HACKED”
Team B is inbounding just below 28 ft line in front of team A bench U1 counts 1, 2
Coach from Team A screams “FIVE – FIVE SECONDS”
B3 requests time out granted.
Coach from Team A screams “THAT’S FIVE SECONDS, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CALL”
At this point U1 goes to the coach and says calmly –
“Coach that’s it you’re a done officiating tonight, …”
Coach from Team A screams “OH I’M DONE AM I WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT! WHAT ARE … ”
TWEET - WHACK
“… you going to do about it”
He actually behaved fairly well the remaining 23:23 of the game.
