1st Technical of the Season

[Adam]

details?

I knew of an official that was given abuse in a scrimmage to see how he would handle it. An inside agreement with a senior official & the HC.

I have a no call and the ball ends up deflecting off of A2 after it contacts the rim and it goes OOB in front of Team A's. So it will be Team B's ball OOB in front of Team A's bench.

As I get ready to give the ball to B1 to make the inbounds throw in one of the AC's for Team A stands from his seat on the bench and raises his arms and yells straight in my direction "are you not going to call anything?". I look at him as I had them a couple of weeks prior in a scrimmage and I wasnt expecting something like this, but every day is different. I waited a couple of seconds as I wasn't going to respond to a question in that manner. I looked to the HC who was standing and asked would he please control his bench and personnel. He asked if I wanted it handled for me to do it myself. So I did.

Come to find out the AC runs over to me after the scrimmage and says that the HC set him up, because of an ongoing "inside joke" between the two.

I hope that the kids, from both teams, were in on the joke. We've had some major issues regarding sportsmanship and coaches lately here in Connecticut.

I'm really not sure how that was set up. What could they have done to set that up?

The actions of the AC I believe were real, but the HC saw the opportunity to get him "T'd" up over them. So the only person in on it was the HC to my knowledge.

Ah, a learning opportunity for the AC. Nice, especially in a scrimmage.

I had to whack a team's MANAGER during a scrimmage on Friday!!

[AHSAA_Ref]

My first tech ever (in a regulation game) was an AC. He was the HC during the 7th grade game and I took a lot of his crap. But he said one word directly to me (while also jumping from his seat) and I whacked him.
Following the technical, I had the varsity HC (who was sitting in the stands, but I knew who he was) escorted out of the building for calling me an imbecile and saying I was too petty to call basketball. (Personally, had it been a regular person I would have let it slide, but for a VB HC to say something like that..it's inexcusable)

Especially if the HC now had to sit down and really let the AC 'have it' afterwards. [The hairdryer treatment for you fellow EPL fans].
