You're nuts! This kid just took a cheap shot swing at an oppoent from behind and you worrying about embarassing him. **** him. He embarassed himself, his team, his coach, and his university!

Puleeze. The player embarassed himself (and his team and his school). The ref did a great job of catching the off-ball action and jumped all over it. He was in a hurry to get over there and his mechanics reflected his rush to get over to the play. I commend the official. How can you find fault when he did such a great job?

Old School must be a great fisherman b/c he sure is reeling y'all in with his bait.

the player looked a bit shocked almost like -- "wow he saw this -- shoot I dont know what to do I wasn't expecting the ref to see that. Oh well coach will kill me so I best get out of here ASAP."

And there are plenty of people out there with what I like to call "reality imbalance" -- you can all use this term as you like but send me a some kind of royalty when you do -- but it simply is that some people have the ability to overreact to certain situations because they cannot reasonably judge fair and reasonable retaliation (whether physical, emotional whatever it may be). This player threw his haymaker and continued running like nothing happened hoping the officials wouldnt notice. I guarantee if that player did anything to the ref he would be in jail on assault and battery charges and just when you think "oh well its as bad as it can be" it GETS WORSE. I think getting carted off the court in handcuffs or physically removed is just a bit worse than leaving on your own -- my 2cents.

"Hey home coach you see those 4 players brawling it out -- well I decided that I couldn't handle doing my job and ejecting him so I would like you to pass on to your 2 players involved -- oh wait make that 3 ummm nope 4 -- that they will be ejected and ummm yeah thank you."

"Hey visiting coach -- listen....huh?.......oh that's just a fight that could have been avoided if I had done my job but hey I don't want to get my little fingers wet so if you could at your convenience, or at as soon as #4 returns #12's eyeball if you could be a gem and have those 5 ummm no 4 players leave the gym please. I am sure they can continue this outside and not disrupt the game but coah please do that for me"

Yeah you tell the coach -- every ejection I have had which to date has been 0 -- would have gone like this -- *tweet* make my call and make sure everyone knows that player X has been ejected. Then after a few seconds when the dust settles let my partner know what just happened then inform the coach of the ejection and then the table -- then answer and of the coaches questions. But I guarantee in any ejection the FIRST PERSON to know other than myself will be THE PLAYER GETTING EJECTED. The explanation will go to the coach.
