Ever throw out a score keeper

[BayStateRef]

Did it once; came close another time. AAU boys tourney. The scorekeeper was yapping at the opposing team's coach. After one warning, he did not stop...and was now threatening to fight the guy. After he was removed, someone tells me he is the varsity coach at a large school. Go figure.

Second time...the scorekeeper is "commenting" on every call against his team (usually with a quiet comment or a shake of the head). At halftime, my partner tells me he is not only the scorer, but he is also the athletic director! I can hear it now, "Mr. AD, would you please remove the scorer and replace him with someone who will remain quiet." Diplomacy prevailed....my partner announced to the "table" that they needed to be impartial for the second half. He was fine the rest of the way.
