It's a shame our leagues don't get enough "volunteers" where we can tell "these guys," uh, thank you but no.

We do have one rec league where I put the hammer down to a coach many yrs ago who has mellowed with age.....and it's nice!

We have a guy returning after being absent a couple of years. You know the guy. The most ignorant, yet most vocal, all in the same package. In his last stint as coach, he came to the officials after the game to tell them "You guys need to watch the game closer." No kidding. It is a new season. The slate is clean. Perhaps we are all older and wiser. But when you go into the neighborhood with the biting dog, one cannot be blamed for carrying a stick.
Give him a T for "illegal use of mouth without brain". :cool:

Well, I worked the game today and there was no problem at all with the coach. In fact, he didn't say a peep the entire game. I think he knew what was going on. However, I tossed a player. About midway through Q3, he yelled at my partner for calling a player control foul on him. The rant was something about getting fouled the whole game without a call but this was the third foul on him, yadda, yadda, yadda. When he kept on about it and started yelling, my partner T'd him. As he walked toward the table to report it, the kid followed him clapping in a sarcastic manner. I whacked him for his second T.

The coach didn't react at all. That reinforced my belief that he realized he was on thin ice. His team lost by 9. Actually, it was a pretty well played game by both teams.
