After a basketball game tonight in a fall league (final score:69-25), the coach of the losing team comes up to me and says the officiating stressed one of the moms in the stands and caused her to have a seizure. Throughout my years as an official, I have been accused of many things, but I have to say this was a first.

She caused herself a seizure. There is not one basketball game that is that important to get that upset.

Tell him it's your understanding that it wasn't the officiating - it was his coaching.

My wife has a seizure condition and the officiating did not cause that lady to have one and the fact that he would even offer that idea is absurd. While I feel for the lady, that coach is a jack-donkey-butt! If he's digging that deep for excuses, he doesn't belong within 50 feet of kids.

69-25 No offical in the world could have saved that game. If she is having seizures over the officiating, she needs to stay home and look at the room her favorite boy is not cleaning.

In Joe Garagiola's Book "Baseball Is a Fuuny Game", he relates the story of the Dodgers, I believe, back in the 40's thought an umpire was giving them some bad calls. A foul ball gets hit into the stands, and a woman gets hit on the head and stunned. The umpire yells down to the Dodger third base coach, asking if the lady was hurt. The third base coach yells out loud enough for the whole stadium to hear, "No. You got that last call right, and she fainted!"
