Then another player on the same team had received a warning from my partner and continued to say something. My partner with his back turned I see the kid mouth something to him so I ring him up. I had also told him I had enough. Both times coach was more interested in us talking to the players and him rather than T and I told him we warned the kid(s) first.

Then after the second T the coach takes him out and the kid is acting up and I tell the coach he's done for the day (rather than go through the whole second T since it was an informal scrimmage). Coach said I couldn't do that it was a scrimmage and I told him that wasn't the case.

Then another player on the court looks at me and says, "I thought we weren't letting in Syrian refugees into this country."

What do you think happened after?

Wrong on so many fronts! Players, coaches, school administrators.

What happened to high school sports as an extension of the educational experience.

Well, they can always play the scrimmage without officials on the play ground. Wonder how they will enjoy that outcome?

Wish both teams good luck with the season, because every official working their games will be advised as to what transpired during a simple/tragic scrimmage. Short leash? How about no leash!
