Girls V last Friday night. Middle of the third quarter. My partner calls a foul, reports to the table, then T's up Team B head coach. (He said later the coach said to him "At least you're being consistent")

My partner goes to administer free throws while I have a chat with the coach.

"Coach, I just need to inform you that, by rule, you've lost your coaching box for the night."

"What's his deal? I was talking to my player, not him. So you're just going to let him T me up like that?"

"The call stands, coach. You'll have to have a seat."

"Your partner is an idiot."

Booooop. Bye bye coach. I take a few strides to the table to record the T and ejection.

He then proceeds to follow me to the table and tell me he's going to stand here and give me a piece of his mind for as long as possible before he leaves the gym.

Unfortunately, I ask at the table and game management is nowhere to be found, so I turn to the coach, who is still yelling.

"Coach, you have exactly three seconds to start moving toward the door before I consider ending this game with a forfeit by your team."

He finally shuts up and goes out the door.

After we're done administering free throws, I have the ball for the throw-in and we notice he's just outside the gym doors, trying to watch the game. We finally locate game management and they escort him out of the building.

I had a talk after the game with the athletic director and let him know we always need someone on hand and available should a situation like that arise.

Crazy quarter. Just a few minutes after that, my partner tagged a girl from the same time for giving me the "T" signal after a foul call on her. Visiting team was up by about 15 before all the shenanigans. Home team came back to tie it, but pooped away the game in the 4th quarter and ended up losing by 12.

Here's my question. Obviously after the second T he's gone, but would you have considered giving him a third for sitting there yelling after he's been ejected?
