Ever do a game that is no fun?

I don't think I would have given a flagrant technical for the one remark listed, though I won't say it would be wrong. I would likely, however, file a written report with the state association for severe verbal abuse, especially if stuff like that had gone on constantly through the game.

You just gave him a T and all he had to do for the rest of the game was have a seltbelt for the rest of the game. He would hear about this game in the locker room or outside or maybe in the newspaper.

Forget flagrant t, you shoulda stop signed him...that woulda taken care of it.

I'm with Rich & Snaq on this one - flagrant T & he can do any further coaching from the parking lot. I don't care if the coaches/players/officials are white, black, green, or purple with pink polka dots, There's absolutely no excuse for this kind of thing...send him packing!

I was doing some varsity ball at the local Air Force base, with my high school partner at the time, during the annual base tournament...service teams, local JUCO, local mens league teams, and the JV team from the Air Force Academy.

In one game I was the only white guy on the floor, I called a foul and as I'm reporting I hear an emphatic whistle behind me, my partner had just tossed the guy I called a foul on.

The player said, "F'ing white ref, that's BS."

My partner said, "Well it's the black ref who is throwing you out of the game."


So yeah, I think anytime a player or coach goes there, a flagrant is justified.

Well, I guess the only color officials see is our black and white stripes

I dont stand for that kind of stuff in any way shape or form. Was doing an AAU tournament once and a coach made a similar comment about my partner who is black. He used the N word.

Flagerant T, ejection, called game management over and refused to start the game back up until he was removed from the building completely.

There is no place for that kind of crap!

Yup....automatic. Gotta be reported too.

The email was sent to the assigner last night although he was at the game.

I usually ignore fans, but I had an elderly gentleman in the second row accuse me of racism on a travel call ! I had him removed. I have the return game Saturday at their place. Boy is he going to be surprised!
