Here are my thoughts.

WHACK. Coach: "For what?" Me: "Unsporting behavior."
End of conversations with him for the rest of the night..

My partner then tells him that we do not need that in this game. He then gives a very quiet official warning. The coach does not like the statement from him and starts to argue with him by saying things like "what am I doing, I did not do anything I am just clapping my hands." As they are having this conversation he decides he is going to pull out his phone and begin recording him and everything he is saying to him.
WHACK. GET OUT.

He and the AC both get up out of their seats and start making comments like wow, really, that's ridiculous


WARNING TO HC FOR HIS OWN BEHAVIOR, TELLING HIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIS AC AS WELL.

He starts making statements to my partner like why am I always targeted by you guys
WHACK. Nope. You don't get to call my credibility and honesty into question.
,
we are always treated unfairly and not given the calls we should get, I just want you guys to to call the game by the book exactly how it is written in the book and administer the Technical fouls and everything else by the book, we are mistreated every single game, is it my face,I am going to beat this team by 70 points, is it the way I dress
WALKING AWAY AND ENDING THE CONVERSATION HERE IF THIS WERE THE FIRST THING HE SAID ALL NIGHT. AS IT STANDS, I'M PROBABLY WHACKING HIM AGAIN AT THIS POINT. HE WON'T GET ANOTHER WORD FROM ME THE REST OF THE NIGHT? So they discuss this for 13 minutes all the while the opposing team is getting frustrated and comes over and says can we play the game now? My partner ignores her and continues his conversation with the coach. I had gone over multiple times to break up the conversation saying we have a game going on and we need to continue this game, I was ignored as well. Meanwhile I am talking to my supervisor about this conversation and he says tonight he is just a bystander and cannot do anything about it. Then the AD comes over and finally stops the conversation after my partner explained to him several times this games is this game and has nothing to do with other games and you can talk to the officials at the appropriate time. He then gets so fed up with it he sits on the bench and covers his ears with his hands . I then pointed out to the AD who had asked us earlier about how he can help diffuse these situations and what he needs to tell the coach that this is the exact kind of "childish behavior we deal with night and night out with him and why we have a hard time with him." This finally ends and we move on and not another peep was heard from the HC the rest of the night.


Thoughts?!?!?!?

You guys let him get away with WAY too much.

I would've had a very frank conversation with my partner at half time. There is NO reason for him to engage a coach for that long. There is NO reason for him to ignore you.

This video would go straight to my supervisor, cc'ed to the state office with a short sentence about how I am requesting to never be put on that coach's games or to work with that partner.
