The peril of officiating

As far as talking to the parent I had ejected, he seemed to have calmed down and seemed to be reasonable. I told him I would answer his questions as I changed clothes. I realize now, that was a mistake. Sometimes, I think I try to be too nice. As he began to talk, he began to get madder and madder. He seemed pretty unstable and began to rant. He recalled several situations that occurred in the game which he viewed very differently than I did. By the time I got my pants on, I got in my truck and left him there. This was the first time anything like that has happened. Last night, at a Varsity doubleheader, there was an officer there who met us when we arrived and escorted us to our car when it was over. I think eventually, all schools will be required to provide security at games. We are told in basketball to not start a varsity game if there is not a security officer there. Baseball will soon have to do the same.
