I tossed a coach last year and our next meeting was in the play offs. He refused to shake my hand in pregame. Since then, I have seen him about 4 times and each time he shakes my partners hands and turns away when I offer my hand.

I couldn't care any less than I do. It doesn't effect my officiating. I just think he is a small man with a big problem.

When I coached, I was tossed one and never thought about it after that, I even forgot who the official was who tossed me. I have since worked with him on the court. Not a big deal.

That's maturity for you. Every game is a new game with coaches and partners. Those who choose to ignore the powers of redemption end up losing far more often that winning.
