Hotly Contested game..lots of emotion in the building...Q3..A's best player feels he was fouled at said to the official.."Call The F%^&*ing Foul"..Whack #1...as player is walking away from official..sez "You Bitch" (Male Official)..Whack #2 and dumped!
With the ejection A's player must sit next game which is first round state playoffs.
Ejection official did not provide explanation to A's Coach..Just stood opposite table side.
Questions:
1) In a regular season game..This post does not exist ..but since its a championship playoff game, do we change our tolerance level?
2) How would you handle getting the player subbed out after first whack, since kid is a knuckle head and is about to be dumped?
3) Communication with the coach? How would you approach under these circumstances? |
1. For this behavior, absolutely not.
2. The second T is his own doing, and likely can't be prevented. Preventative officiating should always be used, but sometimes players hang themselves. In this case, the first T is preventative portion of the officiating. He knows the rule, yet continued on and therefore has to suffer the consequences.
3. It seems that both T's were called by the same official. He took care of bidness; good for him! If the HC isn't in control of himself, after the 2nd T, you could have, by local adaptation?, have the officials meet, and have a/the non-calling official handle the coach. Otherwise, I would gladly deal with the coach if I was the calling official.
