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.

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).
