Technical foul & Ejection
I can not believe that I had another ejection tonight. 2nd one this season.
Here's what we have, 1Q Middle school coach is calling the game. "That's a walk", "3 seconds ", "Double dribble ", over and over. I stop the game and explain to him that he can not referee the game. He has to coach. He settled down a little, less complaining. Then suddenly he is complaining as I am reporting a foul against his team. I warn him that I am not going to listen to his complaining. He doesn't stop. I call the 1st T.
He persists as I am reporting the T. I warn him to stop. He doesn't. The game administration is working the clock at the table, I tell him that the coach is about to leave the gym. Coach is still complaining about the foul calls. ( They were 6-4 against him). I give him his 2nd and tell him to leave the gym. It took about 3 minutes to get him out.
The game went much smoother without him. His team competed for a while but got in foul trouble and lost but 13.
I hate tossing a coach, but he would stop complaining. I have 68 games for the year 6 Technical fouls all on coaches.
The problem I see is coach constantly complaining feeds into the players complaining and the fans complaining. At one point, it was a 1 and 1 FT, A1 misses and B1 catches the ball tosses it to my partner out of bounds. A's ball for throw in. Someone in the stands yells " I wish you knew the rules". I didnt throw the ball OOB...
