Ever throw out a score keeper

I knew a guy who got fired for going to that website at work.

True story - just this morning I was returning a voice mail message at my office and I dialed one wrong digit and got a porn line. When I finally contacted the correct person, I told him what happened. He asked me what number I dialed to get the porn line. It was a little weird, because once I mentioned it, he seemed really anxious to get that number.

I threw out a dad that was working the table during a JH game I believe during my second year. I have not had such a problem sense. This same guy was thrown out later in another game by my partner for insensitive comment while his guy was a fan in the stands. This particular school was happy when all his children left the program and graduated.

I've had 3 problems. Once in a MS game, the scorekeeper was shaking his head at almost every foul called on the home team. It was a blowout game and as the game neared the end the team behind got bumped right as she hit midcourt - tried to gain her balance - but stepped out of bounds - probably took 3-5 seconds. I called the foul - and the scorekeeper jumped up and said WHAT? I just pointed to the door and said OUT. Informed him that he WAS on my team.

I had a HS varsity game that the SK kept shaking her head on every single call - didn't matter what the call was, she didn't agree. I had a foul at the table and the ball ended up under the table - she shook her head in disbelief and I then went to retrieve the ball at the table. I leaned over to her and very quietly said, "If I see you shake your head one more time - so much as a nervous twitch, you are going home. Do you understand?" The other SK looked at me and mouthed the words "thank you".

Finally, last year, my partner counted a shot at the buzzer at halftime and the student at the table made the "wave-off" motion. My partner RAN to the table and RIPPED him. Actually made the kid cry . . . then the coach of his team went over and ripped him more. As we came out at halftime, a member of the school board came up to us and chastised us to which my partner told him quietly get back in the stands or head to his car. Funny.

Never had to kick out a scorekeeper. I have, however, worked the table a few times with other people who I thought should have been relieved.

I once removed a guy from the chain crew in football (ended up earning a 15-yarder and a trip to the parking lot) and did have my infamous varsity coach ejection where the guy came back claiming to be "game management."

Fun times . . .
