Coach A: "You can't do that!"
Me: "I can and I just did."
Coach A: "You're wrong."
Me: "Coach, player safety is m-"
Coach A: "YOU'RE WRONG" as he walks away.

MTD, Jr., and I are officiating (two-man crew) a boys' H.S. summer camp in June with multiple sites being utilized. We are officiating a varsity level game between a team from NE Ohio (Visiting Team) and the team (Home Team) whose site where this particular game is being played.
I am T on the Table Side when a scramble for a loose ball develops in front of me. V-1 dives for the ball but dives late because when his forehead smacks the hardwood floor H-1 is twenty feet into his team's frontcourt with an uncontested layup in front of him. V-1's immediate reaction to hitting the floor with his head was to grab his head and curl into a ball. I blew the ball dead immediately.
H-HC complains that I can't stop the game when his player has an uncontested layup in front of him. I told him yes I can because the player had a head injury. His response: "No you can't."
Did I tell you all that this was just a summer team camp with nothing at stake. Sometimes coaches brains are located in the South end of a North bound donkey.
