I am an official in iowa. Sat. evening my partner and I did a JV-V girls game. It was a pretty sloppy game, dbl bonus both halves, a "T" was called ya'll know how it goes! after the game, we were in our dressing room. my part. was taking his shower and i had my towel on rdy for mine, when in walks the home coach. He slammed the game ball down and began to yell at me. "You guys suck!", "I don't ever want you guys back here again." I remained Professional asking the coach to please lv! He continued on his verbal onslaught. once again I asked him to lv. He continued. By this time my partner had arrived and I was heading to shut the door on this unprofessional head coach. As I reached for the door, the coachsays "don't you f--king touch me" and shoves me with both hands into a metal desk 4-5 ft away, giving me a nice bruise on my backside. I immediantly headed for the shower as to avoid this confrontation. The coach was hot on my tail. "And if you ever "T" one of my players again i will f--king kill you, I will beat u down!!!" Astonished, i went to take my shower. 2-3 min later i returned to find the coach still there giving it to my partner. At this point my partner and i were not responding to anything the coach had to say. No eye contact, no response, nothing! we just started getting dressed, as we were naked thru this entire 10-12 min ordeal! And the coach finally left. After all this was over my partner and I were shell-shocked, the coaches team won by 19pts.!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an unbeleivable chain of events, one that I wish none of you ever have to go thru! And beleive me fellow officials, we were not THAT bad on this particular evening.
Anyways pls respond. my partner and I would love our fellow officials comments and advice on this situation. out.
