2) For the next two times up and down the floor he is still telling me he can't believe I didn't make that call. On my way by a second time I tell him I thought his player got off a good shot. (still no time to stop and discuss). As I come back by for the third time L going to T, he yells at me to blow my freakin whistle. At this point I T him up.

3) He spent the rest of the game complaining to my partners about how I should be able to take more before giving a T.

4) Another one of our officials was watching the game and he complained to him that I should not be working V ball if I can't handle a coach yelling at me.
1) Warning

2) Good "T" but you took two more trips up and down that I would have made before nailing him. You don't have to take that kinda crap from a high school coach. Ever. And if do take it, then you've got nobody to blame but yourself.

3) And you need to get a new set of partners if they let that coach get away from dumping on you for the rest of that game. They're supposed to have your back and not put up with nonsense like that. They should have put an end to his complaining immediately. Not doing anything is the same as tacitly agreeing with the coach. Methinks your partners threw you under the bus.

4) The official watching the game should have turned tail and got the hell outa there when he saw the coach coming. No way he should be taking complaints about a fellow official immediately after a game. It's "Sorry, coach, I can't discuss it now" time.



From your description, I think that you did just fine. You took care of bidness. Your partners and the fellow official in the stands? Not so good imo.
