I'm U1 watching home team warm up prior to conference play last night. The U2 had just worked a game at the H school two days prior (Tuesday of this week) and had a couple of issues with HC. At about the 4:00 mark, U2 offers to take jackets to the locker room.
Now I'm standing talking to R and we look up to see the home HC striding purposefully across the floor, her eyes fixed on something behind us. She never glances at R or myself, but walks right past us and corners U2 as he comes out of our locker room ... about 10' or so behind us. She begins to have an animated conversation with U2.
My first thought is, "I don't like this." Looking across the court at V HC, I see he is now watching H HC and U2 talk. R sees this as well and we tell U2 to come with us to do introductions with V HC. As U2 walks away from coach, we hear her say, "Well, I'm still mad about that."
Turns out, H HC is telling him the crew from Tuesday night kicked a rule in the game (which her team lost by 14 after having a 6 point halftime lead). Games goes off without a hitch, everyone behaves and home team wins by 10.
Three thoughts:
1. Ever had this happen to you before?
2. How did/would you have handled when/if this happened to your crew?
3. If you're the V HC, what's your view on this ... especially after you lose a game you probably should have won? (As a side, his girls played the first half like a W was a given. Better play the second half, but not enough to catch up).

1. No
2. If I'm the U2, I cut her off at the pass and say "Coach, we're not discussing this tonight." If I'm one of the other crew members I go shield my partner as soon as I see the HC heading his way.
3. Not my problem. What happened Tuesday stays with Tuesday.
