Ever Deal With Fans off-court? Do You Always Ignore On-Court?

[MCJB Ump]

Anyone else notice that the lower lhe level of play the worse the "parents / fans / coaches" are?

Had a 7th grade girls game last week (AKA detention) where team A is bringing the ball upcourt and team B coach is screaming for a timeout all the whole looking as if he's doing the YMCA song. I give him a look like he's from another planet and let him know that he doesn't have the ball. Then with this "Oh crap" look on his face he says he called it as soon as the his team had scored and before team A had inbounded. Didn't happen and he, I and my partner all knew it.

I've had to issue three Ts & one ejection so far this season...... all happened in Freshman games.

I do not think they are any worse, they are just less experienced (fans and coaches for example). And most of these games are played in empty gyms so you can hear them more. Varsity fans are just as stupid and dumb; they just are harder to hear over other fans that are making a lot of noise.

Hey Rut....So are you excited about Rich Rodriquez taking over in Ann Arbor....I am a UM fan and admit, I was glad when Lloyd decided to step down and I'm also glad the Seniors got it done against the Gators yesterday....

I think JRUT's comment is called hitting the nail on its head.
