Ch1town - I'm not going to disagree with anything you wrote or apologize for my actions. Calling a timeout would have been a great idea - truly, didn't think about it. That's a great point.

This is Rec ball and regardless of how it looks I was the senior, most experienced league official and coach present - regardless of my alleged biases or predispositions I am always looked at to help run games, teach officials, observe, etc. Even if I don’t have a dog in the fight. You are right though, this time I did.

Did I overstep my bounds as an Asst Coach – by the book, absolutely. I was trying to do what is right and correct for the league. I'm not going to let someone get injured because others are inexperienced and don't know what to do.

I sent a note similar to this thread to the league Commissioner, the Head Coach (new this yr) and my Referee Assignor - if they want to discipline me, bar me, whatever - that is their prerogative. I caveated much of what I said in my email with “IMO”. They can ask others of course and I hope they do.

After every Rec Game I officiate I send a recap to the league letting them know nothing happened, something happened, etc. I have some credibility here.
