Tonight I got a call from the guy's wife. It seems that they are in the midst of divorce proceedings and have accusations against each other about less than perfect behavior. She wanted to know if I would mind testifying about the above incident as an example of her husband's true character, more or less.

Anybody ever seen anything like this, and what would you have told her?


1) Years ago, after a summer league game, a father came up to me and call me an a$$hole. I corrected him, by telling him that I was the SOB of the officiating crew and then pointed to my my partner and told the father that he was the a$$hole.

2) Regarding the jerk's soon to be ex-wife. Do nothing until you are officially contacted by her lawyer. If she contacts you again politely tell her that you will only entertain official contact from her lawyer. If her lawyer does contact you, you might want to contact a lawyer yourself because of the content of your possible testimony.
