Your R is crazy. Your final thought is correct.

But in my opinion you haven't issued a valid technical at that point (not on a specific person) and you've also issued an invalid ultimatum. Granted at this point there's no NFHS rules concerning this.

Three things:
1. I never said that I would forfeit the game. I said that I would suspend the contest and file a report. I can make an educated guess that the state office woud forfeit the game.
2. If the HC doesn't comply just pin the FTF on one of the three individuals that you believe said it. Afterall it is your decision who you believe is the culprit as the official is the arbiter of facts for the game. Then make sure to put it all in the report.
3. Yeah, it's not definitely covered, so 2-3 could be used to justify any reasonable decision.

No, things would've been EASIER. And an unsportsmanlike and flagrant F-bomb would've gone unrecognized and unpunished.

My only problem would be knowing if the comment came from the bench or out of the stands. If it's clear it's from the bench, I think a bench technical is quite appropriate and NFHS rules clearly allow this. If I'm not sure it's from the bench, I'm probably getting it in play as quickly as possible.

I thought if the Head Coach was ejected, he is gone; the assist coach is left in charge, but he is STILL the assist coach? We is not allowed to get up and all that other crap that goes with it as being an assist.

We had a problem like that not too long ago where the head coach was ejected in the first quarter and the asst. coach had to finish the game, but he couldn't stand or anything because he was the asst?

Let me know if I am right or wrong or way off topic?!?

But yea, the whole problem had to suck. I hate when things go like that. I would handle it like this. Since we don't have a Bench T I would call an indirect T on the coach; next I would have both coaches report to the table and lay down the ground rules. I would say "Ok, I want this game under control. I don't want to hear another word out of anyones mouth. If you have a question, ask, but don't shout or course."

After words, call a tight game. Calling a tight game early normally gets rid of all problems during the second half. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

He called you what?

Boom, gone, thanks for coming, parting gifts on the way to the car.

That is, unless your state has gone off in a different direction from the NFHS.

Thanks
