Post-game Ejection Question

[Ignats75]

This happened tonight. Boys Freshman Game.

Home team from a small rural area. Visitors one of TWO frosh teams for a huge parochial power.

Visitors clearly think that they are playing a bunch of slow farmers. Apparently even started their second string. Home team hits two threes to start the game and have a little PG that is too fast for anyone on the "power" team to cover. My partner whacks the visiting HC in the 2Q for excssive whining. I overhear the HC complaining to his ***'t about how he is getting jobbed by these Yahoo refs. Little does he know that I live four blocks from his school.

Now advance to end of game. Score is tied with :03 left. Home team inbounds at half court and their SG drains a 30 footer at the buzzer for a huge upset win. I am on the baseline by our lockerroom so my partner is behind me. I am standing in the doorway of the gym when I hear yelling. As my partner comes up looking hacked off, I asked him if that was the coach. He tells me yeah that the coach said we "F---ing Suck". I said, well we haven't left the visual confines of the gym, so lets cost this guy some $$$$. I walked towards the bench while they are gathering up there stuf and advise the coach that I am assessing a second Technical for the outburst and that he is ejected. I told him to enjoy his vacation and the class he will have to take.

In Ohio, a coach is automaticaly fined $100 for an ejection on top of his 2 game suspension and must take an on line course on coaching ethics before he can coach again.

The first coach's ejection of my career.

I had a similar experience as a soccer referee. I had taken my Son's team to a tournament near Hopkinsville KY, we are from a suburb Northeast of Nashville TN. I had made arrangements to referee between the games I was coaching. One game I was assigned was the Host club's team vs a TN team from a suburb on the South side of Nashville. The home team was totally outplaying the TN team, soon parents and Coaches began the "Homer" crap. End result was the TN Coach was Dismissed from the technical area. I so, wanted show him and his team parents my TN Drivers License.
