A few years ago at a youth rec tournament (The last one I did), we finish a 4th grade boys game. The losing team's sportsmanship among the parents was pitiful, and I'm pretty sure the family tree didn't branch with several of them. We finish the game and as we're standing in front of the table to start the next game, a mom from this team comes across the court and accuses me of "Flipping off our players on the court". I ask her how exactly I accomplished this in front of a gym full of parents, and if any of them saw it. Of course she had no idea and none of them saw it because it didn't happen. (She said a player told her) The tournament directors escorted her out.

In another game later that day a dad walked up behind the table after the game to tell us how we screwed them...blah...blah...blah. I just told him to take a hike and ignored him.

That was the only and last rec tournament I'll be doing.
