First T - Justified?
 
Worked my second Boys Varsity game of the year last night. We had a young crew, all three in our 4th - 5th year, working mainly JV but beginning to work more varsity contests this year.

Home coach was unhappy with a 5-second call. He stands up, makes his displeasure known, and at the end of his rant yells: "That's why you guys are JV officials!".

I didn't feel his comments warranted a reaction until the last "JV officials" bit. I issued the T and we moved on. This was my first T issued to a coach, and looking back I think it was the right call, but would like to hear thoughts from the forum.

Absolutely a no-brainer technical foul. Without a doubt.

Easiest call all night.

I've only had a couple of Ts that were that easy. Good call.

You may be right, coach. But we're all working the same game, and I have the authority to kick you out.

WHACK!

"That's why you're a JV coach!" *




*Only think this to yourself!

Hope your second T of a coach is as easy.
As others have stated a good T, made better by the fact that the coach was bad mouthing the entire crew and you stepped up and took care of business for the crew.
Nice job.

Was it disrespectful, BLS? Indeed it was.

Sounds like a case of the coach trying to show you up. No need for that. Wack his butt and make him sit the rest of the game. Good call!!
