Sadly, the HC in my game should have been done as well. I called one on him as I tried to explain why he was seat belted. I couldn't get the first sentence out before he brought up a first half situation that I had to shut him down on.

Game manager came (running both gyms at this location) and baby sat him, and also gave him a bit of a rules lesson (I'm guessing he now understands the concept and consequences of indirect technical fouls.)
This is the reason that most HS and college coaches cannot stand AAU coaches. For one they hardly can coach. Secondly they have no idea of rules or standards, which is why I had to constantly explain how to call a timeout to a particular coach (from Oklahoma BTW). And then I had another coach suggest that I had to give a warning before I T'd her behind up (from Michigan), but somehow left when I gave the second T without incident.

Peace
