Last May there was a thread on this board that lasted for one week concerning ejecting a coach without a technical foul. The thread is:

I reference this thread because I took the very very minority view that it is possible to remove a coach from the bench without a technical foul, but in only certain limited cases. The thread is three pages long but in germain to the original posting of this thread.
In the above thread I mentioned a situation where my partner and I removed an assitant coach without a technical foul. A week before the game I just mentioned, the same partner and I were officiating a pool play game in the YBOA Girls' Nat'l. Champ. (13U age group) and this game is more in line with the situation posted in this thread. During the first quarter the Head Coach of Team A just screamed and yelled at his players worse than a Marine Corp drill instructor for any small mistake. I just could not believe that parents would allow their daughters (or sons if the case fit) to be treated like this. A mother was even sitting on the bench keeping a scorebook. I was the U and when the first quarter was over, I drifted over to Team A's bench and queitly mentioned to the mother keeping score that if I were to yell to my two sons like that I would be arrested for felony child abuse. I then walked away. Just before we put the ball into play to start the second quarter I noticed her talking to the Head Coach and they were both looking at me. The HC never said anything to me during the game but he never yelled at his players the rest of the game. That is one way to handle an ugly situation.
But I would suggest that you go to the above thread and read everybody's postings and feel free to scrutinize my postings in the thread.
