You can't go back into the gym and whack once you've left. The best course would have been to just email your state/assigner. Let them know not only what the assistant did, but that security/game management was nowhere to be found. In my area, the assistant would likely be suspended as though he'd been ejected, and the host school would be getting a call/reprimand/fine from the state office the next morning.

Separate from calling the game, there would have been nothing wrong with you reporting the unacceptable actions of the assistant to your assignor and/or the state office. In fact, that is to be encouraged in this case. Let those folks worry about suspensions and post-game discipline; that is not our function as officials. |

A supervisor is going to have a hard time defending you when you simply ignore/make up rules.
While I don't disagree that the behavior was unacceptable, this was not the right way to go about dealing with it. An email to the appropriate party is all that was necessary. And GM/security should be monitoring the officials all the way to their locker room and their cars. I know a school in my area that got a big-time fine from the SCHSL for having inadequate postgame security for the crew. Last edited by SC Official; Sun Dec 20, 2015 at 12:03am. |

I gave a head coach a technical while leaving the court several years ago. He got beat and decided to cheap shot me as I ran by his bench on the way out. We have to write up all unsportsmanlike technicals to the state and the school has to respond to them, so I knew it would get addressed in some fashion even if it didn't have anything to do with the outcome of the game.

Had a similar situation a few years ago. I took the time to go back to the table and report a single, flagrant technical. That assured he was out for the next game, which I later learned was senior night. I hate coaches that think that just because the game is over they get a free shot at us as we leave the court. This guy came hard enough that he obviously wanted a response. He got one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's Go To The Videotape ...
2-2-4: The jurisdiction of the officials is terminated and the final score has
been approved when all officials leave the visual confines of the playing area. NOTE: The officials retain clerical authority over the contest through the completion of any reports, including those imposing disqualifications, which are responsive to actions occurring while the officials had jurisdiction. State associations may intercede in the event of unusual incidents after the officials’ jurisdiction has ended or in the event that a contest is terminated prior to the conclusion of regulation play. 2.2.4 SITUATION A: The score is Team A-62 and Team B-61 when the horn sounds to end the fourth quarter. Prior to the referee’s approval of the final score, the coach of Team A directs obscene gestures at the officials. RULING: A technical foul is charged and the result of the free throws will determine which team wins or whether an extra period is required. (5-6-2 Exception 4; 10-4-1c) 2.2.4 SITUATION B: Time expires to end the game with a score of 64-61. Immediately following the signal to end the fourth quarter, the officials are moving off the court toward a door to their dressing room. The referee enters the door and is in the hallway to the locker room, but the umpire is still in the court area when he/she notices the scorer frantically trying to get the officials' attention due to a possible scorebook error. RULING: Since one of the officials has not left the visual confines of the playing area, the game jurisdiction has not ended. The officials may work with scorer's table personnel to rectify any errors. 2.2.4 SITUATION C: Team B leads by a point with seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. A1 releases the ball on a try, but the noise level makes it difficult for the covering official (umpire) to hear the horn. The umpire signals a successful goal. The referee definitely hears the horn before A1 releases the ball, but does not realize the umpire counted the goal. The officials leave the visual confines of the playing area and are not aware of the controversy until the scorer comes to the officials’ dressing room. RULING: Even though the referee could have canceled the score if the officials had conferred before leaving, once the officials leave the visual confines of the playing area, the final score is official and no change can be made. In situations such as this, it is imperative that officials communicate with each other and that they do not leave until any problem regarding scoring or timing has been resolved.

Had an association meeting tonight.
The overwhelming consensus was that getting my young partner to safety immediately... was the best course of action. Since the coaches' act began on the court and safety was the only reason I left, the group felt that going back, especially since I hadn't reach the dressing room, and whacking that _____ assistant coach was something they stand behind. |

Billy's citations touched on this, but actually, the game isn't over until we leave the confines of the court. If others understood this, perhaps they wouldn't see their shots as free.

Assistant coach went after my partner today

Exactly. When my situation occurred, we were still walking off the court, which is why I went to the table to report the flagrant technical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Either way, a full report to the state will give them the chance to rescind the technical foul on a technicality if they so choose.

Why did you go back on the floor in the first place? Game was over, you left the court, get to the LR and be done with it (at least for now) Did you go back just to issue the T and eject? Were the scorekeepers even still there?

Yes, an email to the state would be all that was necessary and it's likely, at least in my state, that the coach would have been punished as if he had been ejected, anyway. |
