I know what spontaneous means. I said as much above...My point was that you don't lose the ability to cheer. I guess it didn't come across that way I also said I thought it was most likely a good T that I said quite plainly I might add

Yes, you did. Didn't mean to step on your toes.

Nice T. Did you assess a T on the assistant after the game? You are still in the visual confines from what your post said. At the very least, I would have let whomever is running the tournament know about the poor sportsmanship that team displayed. I had a similar situation with a coach complaining after a game in a tournment early in my career. I let the tournament administrators know and that team was not invited back the next year. Working those tournaments does stink, but they are good for working on mechanics and seeing a lot of strange plays. As you move up, sportsmanship is better as there are usually bigger consesquences for their actions. Have a great off season. Work when you can and go to a camp!

The assistant confronted me at the scorer's table where my bag and stuff was kept. I did not assess a T to the assistant but did report him and asked if he could be sanctioned for his conduct. I have thought afterwards if giving the assistant a T would have helped anything other than make me fell better. In fact, I asked for his name. At first he gave only his first name and I asked for his last as well. He wanted to know why and if I was afraid of being reported and he also wanted my name. I told him I wanted his name so I could get it correct in my report.

BTW, the coach went past the last chair on the bench to coach when I made the call. But based on the conduct and warnings, I didn't think much about the second T. It was almost an instantaneous reaction. Maybe next time I will pause slightly longer before giving it.

I did sign-up for a camp this summer. Do you think they cover techniques for calling 5th grade games? Should I ask questions about 5th grade officiating?

I just wished the season would have ended on a better note but now I know how far I can be pushed if and when it happens next season.
