Maybe some of us didn't actually read the article...the GW coach did not "raise a ruckus" or anything close to that. The home score keeper caused a ruckus, which ended quickly when the GW coach walked away and then was asked to leave by game management - which he did, again without "raising a ruckus". Absolutely nothing for the officials to get involved here...

Well we do not know what really happened, we have one view of the situation. It is possible that he was over the top or disruptive. Of course he is going to make it seem like nothing he did was wrong, but he was ejected anyway. And the officials had little or nothing to do with the situation.

And it can involve the officials if you notice a fan is going to the table and they are causing problems to the game. Maybe that did not take place here, but it could. And the coach should know better and really I do not care if his daughter is crying about fouling out of a game. That has nothing to do with the situation and more to go to his state of mind and his parenting skills.

Peace

This ^^^.

The table officials - adult or child, old or young - work with us during a game. As the HC of a college program he knows that, or at least he should. As I said earlier, he needed to keep his behind in his seat.

The coach's story makes sense, and fits with the facts. If the officials didn't get involved, it likely ended as quickly as it started. The officials who worked this game are likely just now finding out a fan got tossed.

IOW, as dj stated, there's no expectation that the officials would have or should have gotten involved here. GM seems to have resolved the situation.

According to him....

How many coaches have said "I wasn't yelling" when that's exactly what they were doing? Perhaps the home scorekeeper has a much different version of the events.

But agreed on this is not an officials' issue.
