T or no T - that is the question.

[Mark Padgett]

This was a 5th grade "competitive" boys game (there's the problem right there) and the visiting coaches were confrontational right from the get go. The home head coach was somewhat noisy, also. My partner called both head coaches over at halftime and laid down the law to them. He made a major point of telling the visiting coach that he wasn't going to stand any more comments at all from his AC.

About two minutes into Q3, the visiting AC starts yelling about "reaches". My partner goes over to the bench and just tosses him out of the gym. I went over to the table to tell the scorer that the technical also counts as a team foul (the scorer and timer are volunteer dads) but my partner jumped in and said there was no technical, just an ejection. I said to him, "Can you do that?". He replied, "I just did."

I didn't argue because he's the assignor for this organization.
