My State office cares. A few years ago there was a Football official who had refereed the State Final in early December. In late December he was overly vocal at a Basketball game when his child was playing. His behavior was reported to his association, the State got wind of it and stepped in and ordered a 1 year suspension.

Dang, +1.

Next time, have him removed. Just on principle. Stop the game and let everybody watch as he leaves.

My kind of state association. Good for them.

1. Constant shouting is not acceptable fan behavior. Have game management deal with such behavior whenever it occurs.
2. If you happen to know that the offender is also an official, contact the secretary or assignors of the local association and alert them to the behavior. Discipline within the ranks is part of their job. I personally would not go to directly to the OHSAA with this one.

While he is at games, he loves to bark and scream at calls (or no calls) made by officials on the floor. He has spoke up in meetings about what he does. He also asks about situations he sees and asks for clarification at said association meetings.

This to me is the saddest part, the Association already knows about this guy and he is still doing the same crappy things at games. If he spoke up in a meeting about a "situation" in one of my game I'm sure I would not be too civil in my response.

Make an example of this jack@ss... I ejected a fan last night, she tried to buffalo management by saying she was an official too and they let her back in. After a stern "talkin' too" by me, the administrator discovered the err of her ways and promptly escorted the fan out. I don't whether they are an official or not they have got to go. This is totally out of line, right or wrong, we hold officials to a higher standard than typical fans when they are watching a game. Give this guy the boot!

have him removed.

then you'll be the guy in your association with the guts to throw this bozo out of a game. I'm pretty sure your appreciation and respect within your association will go through the roof -- you'll be the guy that had the chutzpah to deal with this loser.

And you probably will not be the last. Someone has to be first.
