Coach uses F*** word

In my area, a coach would get just as much punishment (suspension) from the official's report than if I walk back to the table and have the scorer write a T down in the book. What purpose does it serve for me to go back since the coaches punishment will be the same either way? Answer: None.

I am not going to tolerate that abuse at the end of the game and my report will be very thorough. But for me to swim upstream against the players and coaches after that outburst is just dumb, IMHO.

This is my point. I have worked some games where there are metal detectors, security all over the place and a very hostile crowd. I am not going back into that situation to give a T to the table. Sorry, but I am not. I would not do that with no metal detectors at the door and little security. It sounds wonderful to have the opportunity to go back to the table and put something in the book. I just did a game where on our way to the locker room a fan said something very hostile to my crew after a game. You think I am going to go back out in that kind of situation just to make sure he loses a game? Sorry, but that is just plain dumb.

Peace
