Had a first year guy (my second) in a 9th grade girls game.
Older fellow - sleepy head. It was just before Christmas - schools out, kids loose, gym full of visiting realatives. Loud.

He was making slow and inconsistant calls - he was new. Tried to help and encourage. Getting heat from the fans and bench. He was getting singled out by the fans every play.

After a made basket (he was lead) and body's flying everywhere - the made shot was grabbed and thrown down "marginally" hard by the center. Close call IMHO.

He freaked. Went long/loud whistle - T on player. She turns to him with a look - another T. 2 seconds had passed. Coach jumps up "What ......." - T. Fans behind bench yelling - throws a T bench direction.

By the time I turned back I had 4 T's counted. I can still see him in the lane spinning around throwing T's all over the place.

Called him to mid court. The guy was enraged! Calmed him down as best I could.

Took ten minuets to get the game going again.

I think he retired.
