"Site Directors" gone wild

Girls AAU Tournament 15U

As halftime is ending, coach from Team A calls my partner and I over and says official book has A1 with 3 personal fouls and A11 with 2 personal fouls, and that he has A1 with 2 and A11 with 3, and that he has checked this with the visiting team book. He asks if we could change that. After checking that both books did in fact have this and seeing as how it would be an easy mistake to make, we ask that the book be changed. The lady working the official book says that, "you can't do that based on the simple fact that they have something different and I've been doing this all day and haven't made a mistake yet." She goes on to say that we will have to call the site director. At this point, one of my partners comes over and tells her that we don't need anything from the site director, she just needs to change it. She proceeds to begin calling the site director on the phone, and my partner tells her that we are ready to play ball.

At this point, the man running the shot clock starts tell my partner that he doesn't need to be yelling at her (which I don't think he really was, but that's not important). I proceed to get the table calmed down, the book is changed, and we're ready to play ball.

Before we can get the ball thrown in, the "site director" comes in, and wants to know what's happening. We explain everything again, and explain why we did what we did. Then, the shot clock operator tells the site director that my partner had been yelling at the book keeper, at which point, the site director proceeds to fly completely off the handle. The site director begins yelling and screaming at my partner, and I get between them, trying to escort him out of the gym. He proceeds to scream at my partner, and tell him that "we can take care of this right now if you want." I eventually get him out of the gym, and we get the game started.

Mostly, I just needed to vent about this whole thing. During three games yesterday, we had three T's (one in each game) and had a fan escorted out.

Any thoughts on how this might have been handled differently?
