You probably would have been better served not to have done this part. Site coordinator had already backed your decision so you had no need to say anything to the coach about it.

In fact, in the future, in these types of informal tournaments, you probably would come off better by noticing the illegal numbers first, get a quick word in with the site coordinator, then pulling both coaches together and saying "hey, we realize there are some illegal and duplicate numbers out here, but the coordinator says it's OK." Just a little preventive summer-time officiating, IMO.

Is this Shawn?

I think BNR is right, why go looking for trouble? Of course, if such behavior continues, then you need to tackle it. Or if he's somehow showing, or trying to show you up. But if Dad tells him "no" and Mom tells him "no," not a lot he can do at that point.

Too bad you didn't know he was going to be an irritating little ***** when you decided not to charge him the timeout.

I'm glad you did this now in summer league so hopefully, you won't do it again (go and tell a coach you didn't appreciate something he did).

I try to maintain good relations with coaches as best I can, but truthfully, if they don't want to do that, I couldn't care less and I'm not going to let them know about it. The only impact for me is that now, we (meaning the coach and I) are done talking -- i.e. I'm not going to give him the courtesy of explaining anything or trying to calm him down after a minor fit.
