jr - even in the ridiculous extremes (which you must admit were WAY beyond what actually happened to you), finish the game, go home, don't work for the guy again. Eventually he'll chase everyone off and have no one to work for him, or will piss off enough TD's or HS's that no one asks him to schedule their games for them. In your case, you should have never gotten anywhere near thinking of walking off - and your insistence that you were right to do so tells me you might get there again. Don't. That gets around - and regardless of circumstance, I'd be reluctant to schedule someone that left the field mid-game because they didn't like what was going on ... EVEN if they were right.

That said... you say there was no protest. Why were you talking to ANYONE not on the field then? You guys need to work on protocol. First - YOU should have never let a 2nd coach anywhere near the discussion. Second - after PU talked to coach, he should have either made a ruling and moved on (ON HIS OWN) or talked with you and the two of you make a ruling and move on. If a coach doesn't like it, he has the magic word to use and THEN you bring in external help - don't EVER EVER EVER do it on your own. If he doesn't use the magic word, play ball.
