9th grade boys game tonight. Coach B is taking an a$$ whippin' late in the 2nd. He's a roamer, out of the box, out on the floor, doing some officiating, etc but he's not nuts. It's a two man game so I haven't been able to get close to him during play to remind him to stay in the box.

Ball on the floor, B1's knee on the fllor, B1 gains control, stands up. Tweet! Roll arms, A's ball. Coach B yells, "All he did was pick the ball up! C'mon ref!" Now, I'm close enough to talk to him. Quietly, "Coach, you've been out of your box and I haven't said anything. You've been out on the floor and I haven't said anything. You've been officiating a little and I haven't said anything. Now, leave me alone." "Okay, okay."

Didn't hear a word the rest of the night.
