League Commissioner is All Up In Our Grill

[JRutledge]

I would have walked off during the game. This is not what I have any desire to do and if I am working it is only for the money, not for the enjoyment. I would have walked off if a TD during a rec league treated me that way. Let her officiate.

Peace

I actually did that during an MAYB tournament a few years ago It was early into the afternoon on Saturday when the wife of the tournament director decided to come onto the court during a timeout and get in the face of my partner because he warned a coach. This said partner is notorious for having very thin skin and a quick trigger, especially in MAYB tournaments, but to this point, had done a very good job. So I went over there and told the lady that she needed to get off the court, NOW, and that if I saw her anywhere near the court again she would be ejected from the gym. (at this time I did not realize who it was, I wasn't informed until later.) After the game was over, TD comes storming into the locker room, gets in my partners face and tells him that he is done. As I start to talk and explain the situation, he then gets in my face and tells me to shut up and wait my turn. At this point I had had enough of this guy, so I asked everyone on my crew (it was a 4 person crew, we ran 3 person, 3 games on, 1 off) to pack up their stuff and we were leaving. So we left the gym with the TD red faced, knowing he had just screwed up and now he was short a crew for the rest of the tournament.

My opinion, rec ball, Biddy ball, MAYB, or anything else that you might have in the summer, does not pay enough to put up with BS like this. I have never worked an MAYB tournament since and never plan to again.

You do realize that is his signature, don't you?
