Coach talking trash!!
 

I had a Varsity game last night. A player from team A tells one of my partners that the coach from team B keeps yapping at him. As I am administering a throw in close to the team B Bench, I hear the coach of team B tell this kid,( I am parphrashing) "you are a dirty player, have been for 3 years, someday you will get yours you big thug" So I bang him. He can't believe I did that. I tell him we would allow another player to say those things why would we allow him?

What are everyones thoughts?

Sounds like a good T. Absolutely no reason for that to be going on.

You shouldn't even be having second thoughts here. He earned it and you obliged him. Good T!

Indiana resident and fellow ref wants to know which HS! :D

Have you had the opprotunity to see the kid from Luers (the frosh) play? His name escapes me right now...I want to say DeShawn ?

Whack
 

If there was ever an automatic T category, this is a member of that category.

Would anyone think that ejecting this jerk would be going too far?

Can we do that? I really can't stand the thought of a coach talking to a kid like that.

You can always issue a flagrant technical foul to any coach on the bench. That requires that they leave the gym.

And a phone call to the AD is in order.

I don't want to say the name of the school or coach but he has been around for awhile.

Coltdoggs, I have seen Deshawn Thomas play multiple times and he is outstanding. He is a Soph by the way. He is committed to Ohio St. but says he is still looking around. He has a posse which is a little concerning.

I'd want to be there and see it myself, but a flagrant T could certainly be in order in this situation.

I'm sure someone would think so, but I wouldn't. I'd certainly consider it.

Flagarant T ... never heard that or seen it.

If I had been in the stands, I would have been disapointed if you had NOT called the Tech. GOOD CALL !

Unless you're willing to make the same flagrant call on one of the players for the same thing, I don't think you can really justify it on the coach.
