Had this but not at varsity level. Was doing 8th grade tourny Jan 4th. Same sit - coaches don't like each other. Teams have played each other 7 times in past two years. Every game decided under 3 points so I've been told. Lot's of whine with every call from one side or another. Once again we have a 3 pt game near end of 4th quarter - 15 seconds remaining.
Partner whistles and reports, then I hear commotion and look back at table. Both coaches sitting, but leaning over court screaming at each other. I went over and stepped between so they couldn't see each other and told them both they could control themselves or I could blow a whistle for double T AND if I did blow the whistle the second was going to be coming quickly. They quieted down. Little did I know that a fan had called 911.
Following the game - a 3 point decision, as we were going to leave we were behind bench (only play we can go to get out of dodge to our room) and coach B's HS delinquent son jumps over bench and attacks partner, but trips on bench and face plants on floor. We look to get out other direction but Dad comes at me from there. Soon had lots of game admin people stepping in front of us. Went out side door to car with game management bringing us our bags. As we were driving out of parking lot see cops talking to coach. Learned later that coach resigned the next day. A parent of his own team turned him in. The parent was head jailer at the county jail and backed us 100%. Yeow - 8th grade.
