Not scheduling certain teams/coaches

[grunewar]

Last yr I had a 1st yr MS coach so upset with my partner and me he came into the refs locker room after the game.....

Long story short - report to league, discipline. I thought about not doing his games again. I was very down after that. Held off due to various forum discussions and mentoring talks.

Ironically, tonight, I worked his school again - 1st time since last yr. Don't know if he remembered me - but I remembered him......

He was a completely different coach this yr (or at least this game). Not loud. Questioned no calls. Always positive, encouraging his team, etc. Don't know why he changed - don't care. Could have been any number of reasons.

He shook my hand after the game and told me we did a good job. I told him likewise. Glad I didn't block him. Lesson learned for me.....and him too I hope

I would never blackline an official or coach from one incident -- it would have to be well documented that that person is a verifiable a$$.

You told him you did a good job, too?

In my HS board we don't have that luxury. We can't scratch teams nor partners.

That's good we are family and we have to get along.

I scratch both schools and partners--for differing reasons.

One school is blocked for not providing police at their games. Others are for personal reasons involving coaches.
