[rainmaker]

Flagrant. Making a travesty of the game. You got a problem with that?

[Ref Daddy]

Yup, I hope so, too. I also hope the dad who came up to me and told me that I "can't give a flagrant technical to a coach" learns his lesson when he calls my assignor and reports me, as he threatened/promised to do.

I never pictured you with that particular hairstyle. . .

And yes, I'm old.

Flock of Seagulls. Not as old as Del Shannon's "Runaway", LOL, but old enough.

BTW, Rainmaker, I knew what you meant. You weren't letting fouls go uncalled, you were letting incidental contacts go uncalled. LOL.

I do. How is a coach stomping and yelling making a travesty of the game?

Unsporting? Yeah. Ejection? Possibly. But I don't see how that makes a travesty of the game. Perhaps the travesty was ignoring "lots and lots of fouls......because the clock was ticking on toward the next game."

Yea, perhaps travesty isn't the best word. It was just so clearly not a basketball related action. It was a personal threat and it had nothing to do with what was happening in the game.

If it feels good, do it.

In your judgement, the call was appropriate for the situation. 'Nuff said. It's always a judgement call from the calling official right from the git-go anyway.

Rainmaker, I wasn't there. Didn't see it. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but 7th grade boys games are brutal, the coach thinks he's Bobby Knight and all the parents think there little Johnny is the next Micheal Jordan. Just T him up, put his seat belt on. Your emotions got the best of you, "tough game, tough coach" you lost it for a moment. Sounds like that to me. I try to stay as far away of those games as humanly possible. I did those games earlier in my career and I almost quite reffing because of it.

Ditto for me.
