I "T"ed up the score keeper.....

I agree that if they are a pain, just have them removed. I'm wondering what the climate of the game was up to this point? It sounds like you were fired up for some reason or another. If the game had been ugly, maybe there were other situations that could have been managed earlier? I'd also like to ask about the person on the book yelling. Is it possible you did drop a number (its happened to all of us) and they were trying to get your attention? I wasn't there and I know I've thrown more than my share of weekend tourney technicals as I was coming up, both deserved and undeserved. I just think maybe you should look at the game management overall to help learn from the game. As always, just my opinion.

I admit I don't have any patience with someone at the table trying to referee, and I've replaced a couple, but I've never thought about penalizing the team with a technical.


I did see the PA guy at a local D1 university get replaced one night by the referee. The guy used a sarcastic tone when he announced the foul and the reporting official turned around and said something. I don't know what the PA guy said, but BOOM, he quickly tossed the guy. I thought it was cool, but the crowd response was, let's say unfavorable, the rest of the night.

it was an 8th grade girls game. It wasn't close. The team that got the "T" was winning. The girl I called the foul on wasn't in foul trouble. I had the right girl. If anything, they were wrong. I had the right player.

The visiting fans were out of control with their yelling about everything. I even had to get game management to sit in the stands between 2 families before anything bad happened. ( that was after the "T" ) But they were bad before that.
