I decided that he meant no harm, so I just said , "do not touch an official!". He must have apologized two or three times.

Should I have tossed him?


You're kidding aren't you?

i've said it before and I'll say it again- I don't like the NFHS rule that a player who is "ejected" gets to sit on the bench. I think if someone is that big of a goof they can watch from the dressing room.

Now I know you can banish them if you feel it's neccessary with an adult supervisor, but I still don't like the rule. Every other rule set to the best of my knowledge makes the ejected person leave the vacinity of the court.

People talk about the potential liabilities if someone gets the boot and is unsupervised, but it's not an issue in minor baseball ( which I also officiate) or minor hockey- which I watch. Ejected players go buh bye.

Schools have a whole different set of supervision and liability concerns that don't exist elsewhere.

even though the technical was his fifth foul, I would assess an ADDITIONAL FLAGERANT FOUL. In OHio, that means an automatic ejection and paperwork filed with the OHSAA. The player would then be suspended for two games.

Player pushes Official
 
the only contact between players and Officials should be the shaking of hands
during the meeting with Captains.

Although we as Officials have to protect ourselves , if all possible try to block the punch or swing but please do not retaliate

Yeah, I noticed that long after I posted.
