Anyway, at what point are we to become judge and jury as to what constitutes a travesty? The way I see it is you are hired to do a job.

We become judge, jury and executioner (O the POWER!) the moment we walk onto the court and our juridiction begins. That's part of the job we're hired to do.

This is called...

Yes, I have. Team A up by 35 with 6+ minutes to go in 4Qtr. Team B is exhuasted and not attempting to defend (or not very good at defending). Team A begins a dribble stall drill to chew up the clock but in doing so this action turns into an "And 1 Mix Tape" display of showboating and embarassement as Team B simply stands around as if to have given up in humiliation.

I warn Coach A that his players are getting close to being unsporting he shrugs and smiles but no comment to his players. 10 seconds later I whack his star guard for taunting, he's gone. Coach A chirps to complain using profanity, I whack him he's gone.

Team A assistant coach gets the message loud and clear and proceeds to put an end to the humiliation, subs enter the game. Team B feels motivated to play, the remainder of the game goes on without a single stoppage coincidentally and we are out of there in 5 minutes.

... taking care of business.

As I have stated before, I am a football official, that coaches a 5th grade BB team. If there were no direct verbal comments or jestures, I would go balistic if my team was given a T for dribbling and not running up the score. Personally, it sounds as if B was making a travesty of the game by not playing defense.

I would enjoy seeing you go ballistic (and then leaving, of course).
