I'm sure then the coach would be forgiven, I would be put in jail for 10 years and he would get a book deal.

The official could have called him all kinds of names and still IMO did not warrant the reaction from the coach. If we started swinging on everyone that said something bad to us, none of us would be without a criminal record. If we can restrain ourselves every game and multiple times, I think a coach can walk away because he got a T, not a ticket, not a fine, just a procedural act in a game that at best gives the other team the ball and some points. Nothing that took place was out of line or over the top by the official.

Peace

Good post, and I agree. This coach can go sit on a road spike.

The referee said his head made contact with his head. Glad he reacted so it was very minor head contact.

This guy works with kids with special needs? Wow not the type of character I see working with those kids.

I was slapped on the shoulder by coach who was upset with me and took a cheap shot. I regret not calling the police.

It sounds like this guy didnt press charges and I think that is a huge mistake.

If someone behaves like this the police should be call and you should request action to be taken by local authorities. Maybe I should ask what part you want me to explain?

I wanted to ask you guys a question. If instead T pop his whistle and sent all the players/coaches to the bench, let L report his foul and then got the crew together to discuss the obvious T and then called it are they in a better position to handle the coach and players and then admin the T? I wonder if we are so used to report our calls we fail to maybe use a tool to deescalate things and be in a better position to handle the aftermath of that situation.

Because I am newer maybe this is a really bad idea. I am looking forward to you guys thoughts on this mini timeout, discuss, let people settle down then calling the T.

Again thanks in advance,
