Tough Call

[williebfree]

This "coach" was TOTALLY wrong in his reaction to the call.

I had a similar situation this year in a Freshman Boys game. I made the call (Intentional Foul: Player made NO attempt for the ball) and the coach went on a verbal tirade. Making accusations of "Cheating" and so on... I calmly attempted to explain what was observed and he continued his ranting and raving..... "T"

I go to administer the FTs and the coach starts again... Partner "Whacks" him. I filed the report for his ejection.
His AD contacted me and asked for additional info on the situation. He informed me that this incident "opened his eyes" to the unprofessionalism of his Frosh Coach. He checked the score book and found that the coach had been "T'd" numerous other times during the season, but none were double occurances (resulting in ejection).

I was suprized that the AD was not aware how pathetic this coach is. He thanked me for the input and assured me that This coach would not have another coaching contract. He said that he viewed the gym as another classroom and he would not tolerate his "teachers" (Coaches) acting that way.

I, initially, felt sad that this coach would not be around, but then realized it was all HIS choices that led to the final consequence.

Keep your head up! Call as you see them.
