Not to hijack the thread and all.....

Stat-man however mentions his "archive," which leads me to this question - other than keeping records for tax purposes (game, school, mileage, score, partner, etc.), what other records (situations, controversies, game recaps, personal critiques) do any of you keep and for how long? For what purpose? Do you go back and look at them? Under what circumstances? Previously, I've only kept the tax info and any reports I had to send to my assignor on game issues. Just curious. Thanks.

I was reminded of this situation, and therefore posted it for discussion, while I was working a 14U fastpitch tournament this weekend.
During the 1st inning, I glanced into the stands and recognized this one man. I could not put my finger on where I had seen him before. My partner comes in to talk with me after the 1st inning and asks me if I remember that coach that walked off the floor during basketball. Right then and there, I realized the man in the stands was that very same basketball coach. Yep! my partner in that softball game was the very same partner in the hoops game. We never said a word to him during or after the softball game, but I really wanted to stop play and run over to short right field and ask the guy... "Hey! Are you gonna pull these girls off the field today too?!" We wondered if he even recognized us. |

I saw a team walk off the court last summer during a varsity tournament that was hosted by my daughter's high school. The following day the coach/team show up a the gym to continue in the tournament as if nothing had happened .... they were promptly informed that they had been replaced by the host school's JV team. I don't recall exactly what event/appointment I canceled so I could go to the game, but I canceled something and when they walked I was rather pissed off so I fired off this email to the superintendent of the school (I've changed the names to protect the innocent):

Happened to me several years ago. Of course the coach was getting further behind - losing about 12-15 pts. 1st half he never says a word to us. 2nd half things go south for his girls and they start missing shots, turnovers, etc. He is yelling at them - to no avail. Then he turns on us. He calls time and tells us that if we don't start calling better he is going to take his girls and leave. This is a class A to 2A HS tournament. Well he continues the next couple of minutes and he goes into a loud stomping fit and yelling at us about a call... T is accessed and as I report he gathers equipment and girls and goes to locker room. Assistant is sitting there staring at me and I ask, as if I don't already know, "is this a forfeit?" and he says in his hillbilly drawl - "yea yah, wad do ya thank!" and walks off with the team...
We report the forfeit to the table and and game is over, score stands. My check was the same as if they played the whole thing. We got home earlier that night as well. ![]() |

Happened to me at a college camp
talk about worse case scenario. At a college camp, had a team that was way out classed. Losing, but not a blow out. Partner called 3 T's on players just after fouls. Coach took team off of court and left. Made us all look bad.
