Had a first-game of season ending tourney once with seed 1 against seed 8. Seed 1 is winning, but lethargic and cocky. Coach has enough and after a regular call, calls time and comes out. Pulls a Gene Hackman, and I obligingly toss him - team plays more seriously after that.
Told a friend who was also a board member. Board called him (and me) in, and completely seriously told him he couldn't coach the 2nd game of the tourney and further, if he won the tourney (he did), he could not coach all-stars due to the ejection. Coach pled his case to no avail for at least 20 minutes before we relented and let him in on it.
