BJV game this week. Good tight game for the first 2/3rds. Foul count close in the first half and into the 2nd half. Home team starts making shots and visiting team starts attacking the basket but the defense is great and I have several no calls as they force the action and just put up poor shots. Now the visitors are down 10+ and they decide to press to get back into the game. They become dirty and physical and fouls are called and we are now putting the home team on the line for free 1 and 1's. The full court press again and a kid dribbles and turns toward his sideline deep in back court and picks up the ball. The defender pressures him and just starts gently walking into him pushing him to travel or go out of bounds. Easy call and I back off the two run around toward the visitor bench to report the foul.

Coach "Todd, you are a bad ref"

Todd "Coach, did you just call me a bad ref?"

Coach sheepishly "That was a bad call"

Todd "Be honest coach, did you just call me a bad ref"

Coach guilty tone "Yes I did, I know you have to T me up"

I T'd the coach.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
