I agree 113%.

That's fine, as long as you don't use decimal places. 😛

Some do. Most don't.

As a coach also, I never realized how ignorant most coaches are of the actual rules of the game until I began to officiate.

The problem is that coaches truly believe that they know the rules. That's why they get so upset. It's because they really are sure that you missed the rule.

I was in a class for teaching the rules to people who wanted to become referees. Lots of former players and coaches in the class. After the first hour of the class, they took a break and I overheard a coach tell the instructor, "Man, I've been a real jerk for the last 6 years."

After just one hour, he realized that he really had NO IDEA of what the rules were. But they're all SURE that they know them better than we do.

In high school, we don't eject players. We disqualify them. The reason for this is that we don't want teenagers left alone in a locker room or hallway without adult supervision.

Partner had a situation where two players were sent to the locker room, changed and got into another fight out in the hallway outside of the gym. Before it was over the police were called in.

I have been told that when a fight breaks out stand back and take numbers down on who is involved, whether they come off the bench, etc.

If this is the case who stops the fight?:eek:

Not the officials. It's not your job to break it up, and no good can come from getting in between.

I agree with PYRef. If you try to break it up, a player would have a perfect opportunity to deck you and say it was an accident. Or worse, a player could get hurt and sue you..... no good can come out of it. I recommend NEVER touching a player.
