Thrown into the fire...

I just love coming over to the basketball board and listening about you guys "whacking" a coach or player...sounds more exciting than ejecting someone in baseball. Almost makes me want to get into basketball for that. Maybe in a few years though...

We don't have the, "You're Out Of Here", ejction signal. Now that's exciting. It would be nice if the NFHS aded that to their signal chart.

We don't have that signal? Maybe you should ask Trent Johnson (fomer Stanford Coach, now at LSU) or Curtis Shaw... I think they would disagree

Not a problem, I'd just love to do the whacking mechanic for a T. But now after doing football, I might try to reach for a flag instead

Believe me, the yellow hanky can work wonders for compliance. Even if its just a sideline warning.

Off sport, but not off topic.......2 years ago, was working a varsity baseball dbl hdr with the same 2 JV teams on the next diamond. Eating a hotdog between games w/ my partner when the home JV coach approaches us, said he wished we were doing his games, as the PU in the 1st game called a delay of game penalty against his pitcher and threw a yellow flag onto the field. We shrugged, said we've never heard of that before, and he walked off as the 2 umpires from his game walk up with their food.

Before we said a thing (didnt know either of them), one asked if that coach was complaining about his pitchers delays, then said he'd warned, then threw a flag he had in his pocket.

I just turned to my partner, said, "time to get our 2nd game going".....

Sounds good. Throwing a flag at a coach, or holding up a yellow, or red, card to his face, would be cathartic.
