chapmaja, regardless of what foul you called on the player, she would be disqualified, not ejected. There's a difference, and terminology is important. So she would've been spared the misery of her father until afterward -- no matter the call.

pfan1981, parents are insane. They are absolutely INSANE. Never lose sight of that (shouldn't be hard). If a player gets hurt, it has to be the result of a foul -- that's their logic. Never try to figure out what parents are incensed about -- they don't know what you know (the rules). Sounds like you handled it well.

I'm assuming the WIAA is the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association? What jurisdiction could that body possibly have over 7th grade girls basketball? And do you really have an "officiating number"? Is that a thing? These are just curiosities of mine.

As for your sitch, we've all been there. It's part of the gig. Fun, huh?
