The first year I was officiating, I almost got tossed from a CYO tournament because a player on my daughter's team was called for a deadball T for pushing in the lineup during an inbounds play. I was sitting in the stands and said to the official (wearing an old collared officiating shirt) "ball is live". He yelled at me "No its not." I happened to have the rule book with me because as a first year official, I was reading it all the time. I pulled it out of my back pocket and calmly read the definition. He threatened to throw me out.
He doesn't referee CYO anymore.
