It happens at the HS level, too.
I flagged a football coach for unsportsmanlike conduct in 2004 when he came out to the hashmarks screaming at me. Had a previously assigned game pulled and didn't get offers to work in that conference again until the previous assignor retired.
Interesting thing, though -- been asked to give that conference some Friday nights the past few years and I just don't have any openings. Not being spiteful -- I just moved on and found other places to work (which, in football, isn't that hard to do considering 90% of the games are played at 7PM Fridays).
Most good officials I know have a place or two where they aren't welcome. Happens. Life goes on.
