Just Wondering??

A situation occurred Saturday and I wanted to see if it had happened to anyone else and how you handled it -- or would have handled it.

I was doing a 14 y/o girls AAU game and working with a female varsity official. Coach from Team A (which was up by 32 points), had been "chirping" at us from the git go. My partner gave him the stop sign and he did stop for a couple of minutes and then she made a call on a block/charge situation. She reported the call and then the coach looked at me (I was the R) and said.."That was a terrible call, but what can you expect, she a female ref". I immediately stuck him. BTW, this particular had been T'd in every single game (5 games) this weekend. I had absolutely no problem in sticking him, but in retrospect, maybe I should have tossed him. Any thoughts on this? Would you have tossed him? Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

You asked, so I'll tell you. Any coach up 32 ponts in a
14U game that does not see fit to sit down quietly and just
enjoy the game is a complete a**hole. I'll bet this guy
even kept his starters in & the press on. So let's
look at it this way. Up 32 there's no way you hurt him with
that T, I bet you he even enjoyed it. It would have really
got his attention if you would have followed your "T" signal
by pointing to the door & calmly saying "Coach, you are
gone."
