I would suggest you stop your clipboard tossing. Many officials, especially in a heated game, take that as a sign of coach anger, and will "T" (lesson learned?).

Of course, its a HTBT sich, but if the crowd is yelling, how could you hear exactly what 1 person said to the official to get escorted out? Of course, listening to the escorted fan's excuse doesnt count!

I was working a freshman game about 20 years ago and a coach tossed his clipboard to the floor (in frustration at his players) and then looked in horror as the clip broke off and shot across the floor.

I know it wasn't frustration with her players, she had just complained about a no-call and I don't think she'd finished inhaling when I heard the crash of the clipboard.

I couldn't call it, though.
