I called a forfeit

[TimTaylor]

Only 3 T's? Sounds more like 5 to me - each team member that removed his jersey get one of his very own...........

I can see both MTD's and tjones1's points & IMHO opinion you could have gone either way. The situations are different (though once you tossed B's coach they might not have been) & from a purely technical standpoint you probably should have at least gone through the procedure, but given the volatile situation & there only being 1 second on the clock just ending it as you did may have prevented further problems.

Bottom line - you & partner were there and had to make the immediate decision based on what you perceived the situation to be. We all get to sit back & analyze it after the fact.........

Thank goodness nothing happened to you with all the mess going on here. If I could add any input, you can't let things fester. You have to get an understanding / ending to a problem. Does the book match the scoreboard? If it does, the score is correct and you've done your part. The issue is now closed!

Unbelievable ending....

Sorry, that was a typo. I confirmed with the scorekeeper that the score was correct.

I'm still torn as to if I did the right thing - maybe just because I feel bad for the kids on Team B that really didn't do anything wrong, but I know that shouldn't influence my decision.

In my opinion, the game was completely out of hand, and neither Team B's coach nor his players were listening to anything we were saying or doing. They were, in the truest sense of the phrase, out of control and I didn't feel like there was anything I could do to reel them in.

Ok, with that information, I have no problem with calling forfeit. In that sense, they didn't comply with the penalty of the technical foul(s), thus the forfeit. Sounds good to me.

First of all, taking there jersey's off and throwing it into the stands before the game is over is wrong. 2nd, once you addressed and confirmed the score, you're done discussing it. If the coach still disagrees, you need to access a technical. 3rd, this was a game that went bad. Time to put it behind you. You are better than what you got this day. I would not work anymore games in this place and I would let the person know who assigned me why. Seek better places to work.

I've had enough, and I already have 3 technicals (1 on Team B's bench for B1 jawing, another on Team B's bench for the jerseys, and 1 on Team B's coach for his comments and being up in my face.)

Three technicals one direct two indirect. Coach ejected, no other adult on the sideline to finish the game. FORFEIT!! Is that about right?.

Now coach goes nuclear
