Tip off. I am Ump. Visitors win tip, go streaking for hoop, tweet "traveling". Coach has a good four year old crybaby tantrum. I administer throw in. Several seconds later partner calls foul on Visitors. Tantrum coach is losing it . on my way to admin the free throws he's PLEADING for calls.

In my head I am thinking oh boy , could be a short night for him or a long one for us.. I am getting players to line up and I hear this loud and proud " YOU Shut up"

Tweet and the T. Apparently partner stopped and talked after reporting the foul and coach got to sit down all night. Time elapsed 12 seconds. Thats right 7 minutes and 48 seconds left in the 1st quarter.

Any quicker , non dunking ,non admin T's out there ?

May 1996, Hoosier State Games, Girls' 13U Pool Play:

During the pregame warmups I notice that A1 has tape on her ears. I ask her if she is covering ear rings with the tape. She says yes. I inform her that I cannot make her remove her ear rings but she cannot play while wearing them. Ninety seconds later:

Coach A (to me): Why are you harrassing my player (A1) about her ear rings.

Me: I did no such thing. I told her that I couldn't make her remove her ear rings but I would not allow her to play while wearing them.

Coach A: The officials let her play in their game the previous night.

Me: I can't comment about the officials in your game last night, but the jewelry rule is a safety rule that cannot be waived.

Coach A: The game is about the girls not you.

Me: Coach, you are absolutley correct. The game is about the girls and you and I have a resposibility to make sure that the players are able to play under safe conditions.

Coach A: You're an idiot.

Me: Coach, I may be an idiot, but your opponent is going to star the game with two free throws and the ball at the division line while you have lost the coaching box for the entire game.

Coach A: You can't T me, the game hasn't started yet.

Me: Yes I can and I just did.

Coach A: Next, you're going to tell me that you can throw me out of the game before it even starts.

Me: Yes, Coach, that could happen.

Coach A: If you think that you can throw me out of the game before it even starts, you are a bigger idiot that I thought.

Me: I am a bigger idiot than you thought, because you are not longer in the game. Please leave the facility immediately.

Coach A: WHAT??

Me(to Assistant Coach A): Please have Coach A leave the gym immediately.

Asst. Coach A: I can't do that.

Me: Sure you can because you are your team's head coach now.

Asst. Coach A: I can't do that.

Me: Sure you can or Team B will win the game by forfeit.

The entire exchange took less that two minutes and we still had five minutes before tipoff.

That's a righteous ejection, Mark. If more officials would stop putting up with crap from coaches like that, we wouldn't have to read "unsporting behavior" POE's every single year.

Good job.

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

i would LOVE to know how that coach's behavior was effected afterwards. Did s/he learn their lesson or still lurking on bench's all over high schools in America?

Mark didn't get rid of the coach. The coach got rid of himself.

Direct T on the head coach at 7:58 of the 1st quarter following a foul call that he expressed his displeasure over. He used language that lacked class.

This T was followed by a 2nd direct T for the head coach during the FTs because he just wouldn't let it go.

That's the earliest DQ that I've ever had.

And I'm sure he was nodding his head when you referenced sportsmanship in the Captain's Meeting.

Stan:

It probably was and I was probably the lead beater.
