Do you guys eject immediately if a coach starts swearing at us as a flagrant technical? Or a T and if he continues a second T?
Here is the reason I ask. Men's sophomore game a couple of days ago. Had a brand new partner. We did not have very consistent block charge calls and partner appeared timid to coaches and players. It was a rough game all around. Between 3rd and fourth quarter assistant coach (my first mistake) approaches and says, "Can I talk to you?" I said, You've got ten seconds" (I am working on being better at dealing with coaches and I gave him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he might have a question.) He then proceeds to tear into us saying, "you guys suck, this is the sh!#$yest job and worse calls" Blah blah maybe 3-5 swear words in his 5 seconds before I walked away. (second mistake).
If I could go back and do it again, I would have nipped the AC problem in the bud early and only dealt with HC. Once the AC started with the swearing at us I would have at least T'd him up. And probably just thrown him out right then. I have never ejected anyone before so was a bit timid about doing it. Also, this team has two of our well respected varsity officials' sons on it and I honestly just didn't want to get a bad reputation so early in my career. I would love to hear your constructive thoughts and comments on how to better handle this situation in the future. Thanks
