This happened to me in Oregon several years back. Was the last game of the season (I think it was JV girls) and the home team was ahead, time was winding down - under a minute left in the game. Home was up by enough to ensure they were going to win the game - all he had to do was keep his mouth shut. My partner calls an offensive foul and coach goes apesh!t. As I'm switching, my partner is reporting the foul and rings the coach up. Before I can run over there to help out, coach says something else and partner gives him #2. He's done. No assistant. So we go searching for a parent in the crowd when the visiting coach calls me over. She asks "are any of these people certified to coach?". Well that was a new one for me, but apparently that was the rule in Oregon - a coach has to be certified. My partner and I conferred - he agreed, and since non of the idiot parents answered "yes" to the question "Are any of you certified to coach?". my partner calls the game and a win turned into a 2-0 loss for that genius.
