JV coach ejection

[Jurassic Referee]

Great job, Robert. Actions like that benefit all sports officials. May I suggest that you also ask your IAABO board to send a copy of your report to the principal of that school as well as to their school board. If they won't, you do it.

I agree. We will never be able to change the mentally of the coaches, parents, fans and children of disrespecting the officials and ultimately the game if more officials do not stand their ground. When this action is allowed, the children think that it is acceptable behavior. IMO the fans, parents and children feed directly off the action of the coaches. Simply put, they follow his lead. If the coach would respect the officials, then I believe the crowd would follow suite.

Well done.

My IAABO chapter secretary forwarded my report to the NJSIAA (New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association). They are the sanctioning authority for high school sports. It was also forwarded to the Principal, because the AD told me the next day (tongue in cheek), "Thanks to you, Bob, I now have to meet with my Principal." He said this in a joking manner, not disrespectfully or critically.

Sounds like there is some type of History between you and the AD!

Great job, Robert. That's exactly what's needed to ensure that crap like that doesn't happen again to a different official.

You also gained the respect of that AD from the sound of it.
