I can hardly wait
 
Tomorrow (Sat) morning, I have three 8th grade local kids rec league games (we have games until spring break). I looked at the game schedule and saw that in one of the games, I have the same team that had a parent ejected last week. This was for telling the refs they were "biased". Being on the league Board, I know this guy was suspended for one game. I wonder if he's going to honor his suspension or show up for the game. Since I can recognize him, it will make my day if he shows up.

I love how little it takes to amuse us officials. :D

Oh yeah - I forgot to mention that my partner tomorrow is the guy who tossed him last week. More fun.

Yeah. And you also forgot to mention that you had something to do with the scheduling.:)

So, are you going to toss him? If he seeks you out and is contrite are you going to still ban him?

On a similar note, yesterday, on my way to a JUCO tourney game, I passed through a town where I really began my officiating career. One of the uglier situations I've ever dealt with occurred there when I threw a school board member out of the gym for yelling BS! in the middle of a middle school game. Talking to my sister, who lives in said town, I found that the board member I threw out is now banned from any school events in that town. I gotta admit I took a little satisfaction in hearing that.

About 15 years ago, I tossed a parent from a Little League baseball game because he was taunting, yes taunting, the 11 year old pitcher from the opposing team.

When said parent returned to pick his kid up after the game, he tried to pick a fight with me.

Nope. We have another guy doing the scheduling this year.

He is not supposed to be there and he knows it. If he's there, he will be tossed and will be suspended for that day and also the final two games of the season.

Then it's just a twist of ... that fan's Fruit-of the-Looms.
I hope he has a long drive to the site and I hope they only have one game.

A man I respect greatly once told me, in reference to punishing a child, "you can't talk your way out of something you behaved yourself into."

An apology is nice, but I agree with Padgett -- he still serves his time.

You should have your mouth washed out with soap for that remark.

You wouldn't want him to go blind from soap poisoning, would you?
