G, what couldn't the coach believe, that you called a T or that the kid hung on the rim? It amazes me that whenever you have this situation the coach always looks at the official strange, like "how can you call this?" Why don't they ask the player "why are you doing that?" It's crazy. Had a V boy's game last year and A1 decided to dunk in pre-game. Coach B was watching the whole thing too. I went to the R and we assessed the T. A coach tells me "You can't call that, it's senior night". I would think he would be dealing with A1 for earning him a seat for the night.

a disqualification for Asst Girls Varsity Coach two days before Christmas. I have them in two weeks, so hopefully she will have learned her lesson and sits down and zips it.

We had an assoc. meeting today and it seems like there has been a consensus of TKOB... I am happy to oblige if warranted.

That's exactly what happened here. I believe the coach was thinking - "I mean, c'mon ref, the game is decided here, you can't T up my boy!"

Apprently the player went up to the coach and said - "Yep, I did it." He just didn't expect to get whacked is all.

First some attaboys for those posters who have stated that they had the courage to properly issue technical fouls.

We had a game here over the weekend in which seven Ts were called and two players were DQ'd. Unfortunately, there should have been 16. Nine team members from the two teams were allowed to leave the benches during an altercation without being penalized.

I give these officials credit for taking care of business in the early going with those Ts, but can't agree with looking the other way when the mess happened. The crew admitted that they observed the kids come onto the court. (They reached the near FT lane line.)

Boys Freshman game last Saturday. Coach is chirping a little the first quarter but settled down.

Fast forward to mid 3rd quarter. He chirps about a PC foul we called on his team. His team is up by 15+. He chirps about the call again. Told him that was enough. Chirps again. Call a Technical. As we're administering the technical, I notice coach standing by scorer's table. I advise him he needs to be seated, having lost coaching box privilege. Making no move to be seated, he chirps again. Second T. He refuses to leave. I advise him I will forfeit the game if he doesn't leave the gym. Finally an assisstant coach talks some sense into him, gets him to leave, and we resume the game.

Oh, his parting shot was that I'll never work at that school again. I took the high road, and did not say "I'll save you the trouble and scratch your school."

Here in KY, coaches can only scratch varsity officials... I used to hear that phrase and just laugh in my mind when I worked JV ball. In fact, I got scratched by two boys teams and only worked 1 varsity contest last year on the boys side.... hmmmm.

So BOTH teams hated you that night.

My reply, "That's the first time you've been right all night".
