[QUOTE=Mark Padgett;712145]This wasn't "my" league and it's not really a "real" league. It's an independent "competitive" MS organization and the teams actually are quite independent. The league only does the scheduling - the teams actually contract for gym space with the various school districts on their own. There's really no overall "authority" for conduct or anything else. The assignor just contracts with the league to schedule the officials and we are paid by the home teams at halftime of the individual games.
Quite a few of the games I work for this group have coaches who, at one time or another, coached in my local kids rec league, so I know a lot of them. They know that when I make a remark, it's just kidding and they go along with it. I will very rarely make a remark, unless it's an obvious light-hearted joke, to a coach in this organization whom I don't know.
BTW - the head coach actually cracked up at my partner's comment.[/QUOTE]
Leaving that out of your narrative changes the scenario. We were led to believe he's just a smartass.
