Was Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. your partner in that game? I heard that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. was the first official to eject Dr. Naismith from a game. From what I hear, Dr. Naismith disagreed with a shouldering foul call, and called Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. a, "Mountebank, scallywag, reprobate, charlatan, hooligan, and a miscreant". Back then, "Mountebank", earned the coach an automatic technical foul, and ejection.
