Escorted out of gym by police tonight
I reffed a girls middle school game tonight which got really ugly. Made a questionable foul call, coach exploded, other ref threw him out of the game. I called a technical on one of his players earlier too. But the toughest to deal with were the parents. We had threats, police showed up, left. After the game one fan who I thought was going to hit the other ref said he was going to sue us. We just locked ourselves in the coaches office and called police.
Sometimes I question my foul call, that it was not necessary after letting the girls just play most of the night. But don't think it was necessary for the coach to erupt. His team lost by 15 points anyways so it would have hardly mattered.
I'm a rookie official, just my second game and I am learning a lot.
