Just a rough night...

Yeah, but you football guys are crazy.

I like how they put it in soccer: public, persistent, or personal. Yelling "You're crazy!" is both public and personal and an easy T. The second comment is challenging his integrity and is right on the line if not over it.

If a coach who has already been seatbelted, stands up and yells and stops his feet to protest a call, his actions are well over the line. I learned when I started reffing intramurals that sometimes you just have to take care of business and try not to worry about the fact that you're the only one on your crew with the stones to do it.

"You're crazy" is personal. It's a technical in basketball and 15 in football. In baseball it's an ejection.

Standing and stomping in disgust after getting a technical already? Good bye.

This.

And yes, the partner should have rung him up with the comment made to him.

One of the partners should have rung him up for stomping, but since they didn't, the OP was right in doing so.

The second comment was the "glad you called it because your partner wasn't going to." not the foot stomp.

It's a personal comment directed at an official. And after already being T'd up, he's taking a chance that comment could send him. That's questioning an official's integrity in my book.

I read it as questioning his competence, but it could really be read either way.

Don't forget "profane." And yes, "you're crazy" is a T/yellow card (unless you think the coach is trying to stop the clock with a card. In that case, take your time on the restart).

bballref3966, there's no substitute for experience. You earned some experience last night.
