Well that depends on the bench.

Not sure why we care anyway as officials what conversations an AD might have with their coach. That is not my concern and does not change how I call the game.

As an official, you're right. As a parent and basketball fan, I'd have a real problem with that behavior.

Or you could go to the board meeting like they did in "Hoosier" or "Footloose."

You know these meetings bring lots of changes.

I don't think the opinion of some guy from Colorado is going to mean much anyway. They'll still let the kid keep dancing.

We spoke with an official referee with the Washington Officials Association. He says the player should have been removed after the first foul, which he says was unsportsmanlike conduct, and unnecessary. He adds the video will likely be reviewed by the association.

NEVER comment to a news source on the officiating in a game, especially one which you did not work yourself!!!

And especially if you're going to butcher the terminology.

Agreed. My guess is they got a quote from the writer's brother-in-law who happens to be either a JV basketball ref, or an official in another sport (maybe track).
