Starting the season off with an ejection
Today we had our annual 2 man mechanic camp in conjunction with an area boys/girls basketball tournament. 2 - 18 minute running halves. One team majority white was on defense while the other team majority black was on offense. One of the defense players bumped into the offense and the offense player pushes her and tells her get her white a*& off of her. WHACK! First T.... I go over to the table and report it, coach asks what had happened, I explained down to the T. She then comes behind him and says, he only called that because she was white loud enough for people in the stands to hear. WHACK! Second T and gone. Coach gets upset, I careless and move on with the game....What a crappy way to start off a season!

Brandan - from the way you described it, it sounds to me like you did exactly the right thing. I know you would have done the same if the situation had be reversed.
When comments like these start, you have to pull a Barney Fife. Nip it, nip it in the bud.

You did right Brandan. I had something similar in a girls varsity summer league game - a racial epiphet, profanity & threat of violence all in one sentence (stay out of my way you honky b***h or I'm gonna kick your f*****g a$$). She didn't get a second chance - went straight to flagrant on that one.

Yep, a very unpleasant way to begin the season. However, you really did the girl a big favor. By showing her now what the consequences of such actions are, you give her a chance to get it under control before the games that matter. Not that such considerations factor into our decision making process at the time, but I'm just sayin...
A righteous ejection.

With my younger kids in the rec/summer leagues, I always try to catch them after the game and talk to them as a person and not the ref. I get that they don't often know how to separate the two, but there is that human element that goes into it as well....You see some of these kids on a weekly basis and it's nice when they approach you the person off the court OR on it in a nice demeanor that says, "yeah, he Td me, but I learned from it". |
