I like to think that I have better people skills than that. In that situation, you can't make the principal replace the timer if he doesn't have a competent replacement. Putting someone on the clock that doesn't know what he's doing just makes a bad situation worse. I worked with the principal and found a solution that enabled us to finish both games. In the end, he thanked me and we left the school on good terms.

Your way is pretty arrogant. You're telling him to replace him or else. It would be stupid to back yourself in a corner like that. That type of arrogance isn't going to help the situation.
