At the end of Q1, my partner told that coach to tell that parent to shut up. The coach did say something to the guy, but it didn't make any difference. Late in Q2, I called a foul on his kid and he blew up, yelling and screaming at us and he actually came out of the bleachers down to the sideline and yelled that my partner and I "were full of crap". That was it. I tossed the jerk.

Of course at first, he said he wouldn't leave but I explained to him that under Oregon law if he was directed to leave a venue by a sports official and he did not leave, he was guilty of trespassing (true) and I would call the local police and have him arrested. I also told him that if he said anything while walking out, I would start calling technicals against his son's team (a bluff). He got the hint and just left in a huff.

After the game, that coach came over to us and thanked us both!

Oh yeah, my partner thought that the purpose of timeouts was to check out the good looking women in the stands and tell me about them. Actually, it was a good way to pass the time.

For the weekend to this point, as far as ejections per day, I'm one for one.

You mean there's another purpose for a timeout? Citation, please?

I don't know it. You may want to ask Juulie or Rita.
