Sometime thereafter the game was called off.

The game was protested and both teams involved agreed that the ref was way out of line. I wasn't there, but as head of the referee commitee, they want me to make some decisions. The chairman of the league has accepted the protest as valid. Should we play the game again? If not, what is the standard procedure for handling these types of things?

And just so you know, I've called an "emergency" referee clinic to try to straighten out this mess once and for all.

Coach:

You need to give us more details before anybody can really comment.
