I'm not giving up my Saturday afternoon so a coach can yell stupid comments at me.

Good point! I'll have to remember to use that!

I've worked AAU girls the past two weekends. Had to really great games yesterday morning. The first, a 13U OT game and the second, a 14U game that went down to the wire. This weekend was relatively calm. Only 2 T's, both on Friday night, although my partner did toss a coach. And, I got a coach who agrred with me too much when I ran one of his players out of the game for having her shirt tail out. "That's the best call you've made all game!" WHACK!

The previous weekend was a 11U and 12U tourney. We tossed a coach on Friday night, with 2 indirects on the bench and a direct T on him. Saturday morning, I have a foul on a rebound about a minute into the game. As I report, I hear the coach. "Ref, ref! You aren't going to call that all game are you?" "Excuse me, coach?" "You aren't going to call that all game are you?" "Coach, I'm going to call a foul, every time I see one." I thought you would let us play." mick you would've been proud! I didn't whack him. I knew this idiot would give me plenty of reason before it was over with. Sure enough, 5 minutes later, he's standing on the division line, on the court! This after he had already been shown where the box was. BIP! "Why did I get a T? I wasn't saying anything to you." "So, coach, I guess you can stand on the opposite sideline as long as you don't say anything to me?"

AAU! You gotta love it!
