The entire free world knows you dont do this for the kids...isnt necessary for you to repeat it twice a week...As for the rule, i'm sure it works but i think tossing the idiot parent and suspending/banning him from games would work just as well. Last edited by BigCat; Wed Feb 22, 2017 at 08:06am. |

I know travel is a different animal, and maybe that's why I don't work nearly as much of it as I used to (aside from the pay), but expecting officials to deal with this nonsense is too much. I suppose instituting severe penalties like Nevada describes would be helpful.

Also, i don't think why we do what we do or who we do it for or "for the kids" has anything to do with it. I know everybody has different reasons for doing it. I have many reasons for doing it. I just think bad actors should be punished/barred etc. I'm not a fan of guilt by association when one person isn't able to choose who he's associated with… That doesn't have anything to do with why i'm there or your there etc. I understand the position and if its truly gotten that bad then that may be all that's left... |

Any parent ejected should not be permittee back at a basketball game until taking a referee course and passing the exam.

I was in the camp of don't punish the kid. After having a parent wanting to assault me in the parking lot last month and the City Attorney not wanting to do anything I am all for the kid leaving with the parent. That feels like it will stop the behavior. Just leaving a gym where they hate the referees anyway doesnt feel like it will change any behavior.

My main point with that is that I'm not calling a technical foul on the team for Dad's stupidity here. If a league decides to add penalties such as removing the player when a parent gets tossed, I can see valid reasons to support that. I've done enough travel ball in the past to know just how bad these knuckleheads can be.

BigCat I responded to you in regards to "I'd ask you to remember kids don't get to choose their parents"
I'm saying I don't care. It's 8th grade AAU ball which some parents (and kids) think is the NBA. Unfortunately sometimes a heavy hand is required to get a message across. Will it work? Who knows. But when I make a decision as a ref I never once think "what about little Johnny/or Suzy". In my experience no good deed goes unpunished so I just want the crap sorted, fixed and the game to move on. After all it's 8th grade AAU ball.

I know Deecee. We all have different life experiences. Mine tells me I'd never punish the kid for the sins of the parent.

This is the main reason. Parents policing themselves at these events works the best. I also stopped doing AAU many years ago. Now I may do 3-4 games per year in the offseason for AAU. Mostly because I really got sick of the stupidity, parents, and coaches.
