Well, how many lessons can we take from this fine fellow? While officiating:
1. Don't confront coaches based on what you thought you might have heard. 2. Don't issue warnings in the form of a conditional ("If you X, then I'm ejecting you."). 3. Don't argue. 4. Don't accuse anyone of lying. 5. Don't ever threaten. Any others?

The only thing that seems to have prevented that is it appears the other two refs took the guy to mid-court gave him a few "suggestions" before resuming.

I had something with some similarities happen in football last year. Late in the game with the V behind, H had the ball on their ~40. The clock was running and V's coaches were yelling out signals. My HL thought he heard a TO call and stopped the clock and I (the R), anticipating some time outs, started to give the signal to the box when the coaches start yelling that they didn't call the TO but yelled something that might sound like that as a signal to their players. I immediately blew my whistle and yelled, "no time out, let's play ball" and got the offense back into their formation. I then blew the ready and wound the clock, so in fact, the Home team got an 8-10 second advantage as it turned out.
We finished the game (H won) and in the locker room, one of the crew members (not the HL) INSISTED that he heard the TO. He was adamant that it happened and said I was mistaken to not stick them with it. I said that the coaches' response was very quick and due to the look on their faces seemed reasonable, so I surmised they didn't call timeout. After a 5 minute discussion when even the HL is insisting they didn't call TO but HE made the mistake, the BJ won't let it go, so I did. There are people that don't believe anyone but their own idiotic self. |

LOL! One of the first things we go over with our new coaches is to never, ever name a play using the word "out", or anything even close.

And By Recent, I Mean The Past Four, Or Five Years ...
Didn't the NFHS come out with a recent interpretation of this situation?

And what would your advice for the coach have been?

I seldom eject a coach for X'ing.

No, but I've eject many for F'ing, as in "You're f'ing terrible". Of course, they were directing that at my partner.
