Wait. Yes, I can.

One time, I called a foul against the home team in a close game and the clock person gave me a "what the hell?" kind of look and dissented against me by waving his hand. I went over and quietly said "hey, don't do that to me again. You are part of the officiating crew and are supposed to be neutral. Keep your emotions and thoughts inside or I will have you removed and replaced by someone else." Didn't say a damn word to me for the rest of the game.

I've removed a score keeper and clock operator from seperate games before.....NEXT!

I have neither the time nor desire to deal with "issues" during the game. Give me folks who are impartial, can check their agendas/attitudes at the door and pay attention - that's all I ask.
