I recently posted a thread on dealing with a coach whose in your ear.

Last night I was working a freshman level game. Ball touched by white rolling on its way out of bounds. Red touches it just out of bounds. I give the ball to red. White coach is complaining behind me. Next time I pass White bench coach has his hands 18" apart and says Red touched it that far inside. Following advice given here, I said, "I saw what I saw. That's enough." and I kept moving and calling the game.

A few minutes later he's in my ear complaining about my not calling something. He's not letting up. I'm right in front of white bench on next dead ball. I blow my whistle and raise my hand to get my partner's attention. I then turn to the coach.

ME: Mr. X, you coach, I ref. If you do it again I will give you a technical.

COACH: OK, but I want you to start......

BAM! I hit him with a technical. This was the beginning of the second quarter. Not a peep out of him about the reffing the rest of the game.

During the administration of the technical, one of his players said to another player, "THAT was an embarrassing technical." I thought that was an interesting comment.
