Partner tosses coach - it's becoming a habit

Where is the school district or state association here? An 8th grade coach getting an ejection is pretty serious. 2 in the same year should mandate some form of suspension.

The only thing I might recommend is that the non-calling official get over to the calling official after the T. This does several things: 1) slows everything down, which is very important; 2) gets everyone on the same page as far as what's going on; 3) allows calling official to tell non-calling official to handle the coach and prevent, if possible, another T. The only caveat here is to make sure one of you is watching the players at all times, which is tough with only 2 officials.

There is none. We don't have elementary or middle school teams sponsored by schools around here. They are all independent. Some are part of non-profit recreational associations, some join together to make competitive leagues and contract with an assignor (that's what this was) and some are "travel teams" only and just contract to play in independently sponsored tournaments. There is no governing body but they all use NF rules as their base.

Sounds like a problem that I am having with my rec league I'm running. I have a small town with 3 teams (one girl and two mens). One of the mens head coach is a model coach. Doesn't say anything and teaches his players to respect the judgement of the officials. The girls coach I got him for being out of the coaching box. Now normally I would say get back into your box, but I called a foul at the free throw line and I turn around, there he is right in my face. That was 2 weekends ago. Last week, I had the other HC for the other team saying I was unfair/cheating/unethical. Whack, got him once. He goes on and says that I'm not the Charmin that he wipes his butt with. He got another one from me. Now last night, I had there High School Varsity (different coaches btw) and me and my partner ending up ejecting both boys and girls head coaches. Now the whole town thinks I have a personal grudge with the whole town. I got to love my town!
