I got baited

[StripesOhio]

BJV tonight...

Varsity official watching the game said he saw the bait coming...

On a pass, B2 jumps up to tip the ball, A2 player fouls him. I call the foul, get some grief, play on.

Next possession, simultaneous/incidental contact (severe I suppose), partner and I didn't call anything. (NFHS 5-27 Art. 2) Coaches go crazy (from team that had call against them moments ago)

Team calls timeout. Head coach doesn't say a word, but after I report the timeout, assistant coach walks over and wants an explanation. (note: assistant was also head V coach)

He starts in, not being nice and I tell him, are you the head JV coach?

"Yes I am."

I stare at him and said I'm not explaining anything, if the head coach has a question I'll answer it. He goes, "You're not going to tell me anything." He then walks away...grumbling.

I should have whacked him right there but I let it go. Team breaks huddle and I quickly explain to the head coach that even though the contact was severe it was not a foul...he had no problems with it.
