Ever do a game that is no fun?
I had a game tonight with a boy's program that is out of control. This coach has already caused the assigner to move several officials. My partner, who is white, called a foul for this team and the coach was upset because my partner called a non-shooting foul instead of a shooting foul. Yeah, he got the foul, just not the one he wanted. I'm table side, since we don't go tableside when we call fouls, and he says, "See that ref, that is just racist." The other team had a white head coach and two assistants. All of the kids on both teams were black. That was enough for me and I gave him what he earned. I don't think there is any place for this in high school sports. Besides all that, my partner has different nationalities in his family.
I just emailed my assigner and asked him to take me out of the game when I have this team again. It just isn't any fun doing their games and not worth the money. Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Additionally, I had to call an intentional foul in the first minute of the game. A player made contact with the inbounder. Another first for me.

Do the kids (current and future) a favor and send a note to your President, state association or school principle. Heck - even the school Board.
If this was my kids school I would really appreciate it. Needs to be addressed.

This whole situation was just so stupid to me. This was the second half of the game and there was absolutely nothing that would indicate an ounce of racism. BTW, this coach's team won the first meeting at home in overtime. Tonight they lost by about 10. He has superior talent, but he doesn't maximize it.

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.

Yes - I had 2 7/8 grade boys games last night and the administration was terrible. They never checked on us between halves or games, never asked if we needed anything (i.e. water) and after the end of the games, didn't even bother to thank us. I don't ask for a lot, but a little courtesy goes a long way. My partner and I felt very unwelcome.

I worked a juco game where I and a player were the only 2 white people in the gym (maybe the only 2 white people in a half mile radius). My partner called a foul on the white player and as we were lining up for FTs the white player mumbled that he knows I would have never called that foul on him. I didn't T him but I let him know he better not come to me with that sh1t again. He avoided me the rest of the game.
Turned out to be a great game btw. Never experienced anyone bringing that sh1t to me in such a blatant way though. Good T.
