Assistant Coaches

[DrC.]

Funny story from last Year. I was working a 8th grade Travel game. My partner, I was told was an official from a Pro development league. He soemtimes stops by and works some games. A minute into the game, 2 coaches from Team A
get up after a call of his. He walks over to them and calmly says "Who is the Head Coach"?. Coach #1 says I am. He then tells #1 to have #2 sit and I will deal with you (#1). 30 seconds later, My partner makes another call against Team A. Well #2 gets up and says What??? - Whack -
Hits him with a T. AS he's walks over to the table, #2 says "T?" - Whack - Another T and #2 is gone. I asked him at halftime, did I miss soemthing he (#2) said. He said no, I was taught the assistant coach says NOTHING to any official. He is there to help the Head Coach only. I said OK. After the game, by the refreshment stand, I saw #2 and knowing him from other games/sports, kinda of grinned and said that was quick. His lips were locked. He was afraid to say anything !!!
