How long before your first T to a coach?

Had an OOB play in front of his bench..he thought the other team just threw the ball OOB on a fast break but his player tipped it out. He went off pretty bad right next to me...I didn't know what to do..I figured he was just venting by my partner who was now on the baseline took exception and whacked him....This just threw gas on the fire and it ended with him grabbing his coat from the bleacher behind him, walking past me toward the door (like he knew it was coming) and as he passed me he said "I'm outta here, you guys SUCK!"....So I figured I'd make sure he kept on walking.

Oh, that was 7 years ago in a 3rd grade rec league!

Wow! Unreal.

LOL, too funny. Ironically, the closest I've been has not been in a school game but in a kid's tournament. When I reminded the coach that if I called everything he was whining about we'd end up in a FT contest between two teams of 4th grade girls who couldn't even throw the ball that far, let alone actually make a FT, he calmed down a bit.

Sheesh, some people really shouldn't be coaches.
