Wichita Ref gets shoved by cop

Terrible!
I commend the young lady for her conviction and guts, but following that guy to tell him to leave is definitely breaking into jail. Looks like a rec-mess!

Here is my thing with it. Should a parent come on the court? no but if the kid is hurt I have no problem with it. I have had it happen before and I walked away and allowed the parent and coach tend to the player with no T. She had no reason to be there and blowing the whistle in his face was ridiculous and should have never happened. While I don't think he should have pushed her I don't understand why she then decided to keep going at him after that. It was a bad situation that could have been avoided if she would have just done her job right

I get what you're saying, but given she is a minor, I wonder how much training she received, especially in terms of injured players and ejection protocols. Sure, experienced officials know to move away from the scene of an injury when a coach or trainer comes onto the court, and they know that one doesn't have to be right in front of an individual being ejected. However, I wonder how much instruction she received regarding these items.

Training, We Don't Need No Stink'in Training ...
Back when my daughter played high school basketball, the players were recruited to be recreation league referees on weekends. Nice way to earn few bucks on the weekend. She received absolutely no training. The league just figured that high school varsity basketball players knew all the rules and mechanics because of the many years that they played.

The official is not without blame. There was inexperience involved, for sure. I hope she acknowledges that she could have handled it differently, and more importantly I hope she learns from this and continues to officiate. |

I agree with everyone who says there's a not a lot there, and that it was obviously very poorly handled by the official. And if she hadn't decided to blow the whistle directly in his face (she's a child, after all), the assault never happens.
But perhaps this guy was being "that guy" from the stands all game long (we all know the type in these hot-mess rec leagues) and when he was suddenly all the way onto the court, just feet from the officials he had perhaps been riding like a lunatic all night, she finally lost it and went lunatic too. Doesn't justify it. Just a theory ... And his kid did not look hurt enough to warrant a parent trip to the court. He could've just met him at the bench. |

The kid definitely did not need to walk towards the parent in this situation. She needed to identify who her site administrator was and let them deal with removing the officer. I too hope the kid sticks with our craft and learns from this.

The assault charge (plus other charges) would have been immediate, not weeks later after an investigation.
