Jr. High Coach = 1st toss for me.

Last Thursday night, I had a game between two Catholic schools. I knew before the game that it was going to be a close game due to the fact they were playing this game to see who stayed in for first place in the league. To start things off, the coach as well as about 5 members from the Visiting team calls and says that they are running late and would be there in about 20 minutes. After his arrival and the jump of the ball, things began to roll down hill, drastically. After every single call no matter what that went against his team he had something to say about it, so finally I had to give him the stop sign. Early in the 3rd quarter, there was a loose ball in front of his bench that left one of the home team’s players kind of hurt. No fouls. I was under the goal and his player that got the ball took it to the basket, shot and made it. After this I blew the ball dead to check on the player. The coach from the visiting team comes to the middle of the court hollering at my partner and I from not granting his time out. This is where he got his first T from coming on the court hollering at us. Then he refused to sit down equaling his second and toss. Just out of curiosity I asked my partner if he had called the time out and he said that he did not honestly hear him. The thing the threw me for a loop is why would you call a time out for the opposing team when you only have 1 left.

After the game the coach comes back into the gym, gets in my partner and I’s face wanting to fight us and telling us how much we sucked. The home team’s coach told him if he didn’t get out they would call the cops. They had to literally grab him and push him out of the gym.

Paperwork was filled out and now Im waiting to see what is going to happen.
