Letting it get out of control

[stilllearning]

Just wondering what everybody thinks. Probably a vent but this one gets old.

Tonight A1 falls to the floor due to tough defense. Travel. She gets frustrated and slaps B5 in the leg as she is getting up. B5 feels it and gets frustrated and turns around and shoves A1 in the back. I call a technical on both of them. While I'm reporting Coach B wants to talk to both of us. "DO YOU KNOW WHY THAT HAPPENED?" I said, no and walked away. I'm so sick and tired of getting lectured about letting a game getting out of control and seeing officials somehow get blamed for the actions of frustrated kids.

Anybody else get frustrated with this one? Do we let games get out of control? Any thoughts on the subject? I guess it's possible for the refs to let a game get out of control but I've worked and seen hundreds and have yet to see it once. Kids get frustrated and they do stupid things. That's all there is to it. I guess it's March so it's been a long year.The vent's over. Thanks. I feel better. : >)
