Bang.....bang!!!

My first season, in a 7th-grade game. H coach is convinced he's losing by 40 'cause of officials, not 'cause of team that can't dribble, shoot, pass, play D, etc. Coach has been warned (by partner) after a loud remark. With about 1:00 left in the 4th quarter, I call a travel on V, giving H team the ball back, and H coach yells from about 20' "Where the hell was that call in the first quarter?"

Whack!

In this tournament, technical fouls resulted in an automatic two points and the ball at the division line. I report and turn to administer the throw-in, and turn to find the H coach following me onto the floor. My partner is apparently not paying attention...I wait a beat and then Whack! #2, see ya. He refused to leave and the tournament director ended the game after about 2 minutes of this guy ranting. Got suspended for a month.


I know this isn't Basketball, but in a 7-year-olds football game this fall I ran an assistant coach. In NFHS football, Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties work like Ts - two and you're gone. This assistant yelled across the field at opponents that they were a bunch of sissies (for kneeling at the end of the game instead of running another play. ??). Before the flag hit the ground, he had kicked a yard line marker onto the field. I picked the flag off the ground, threw it again, and invited him to leave.

"Coach, maybe you're right and it is our fault. I'll tell you what. To make up for it, we'll give your team 30 points! Oh wait - you're still losing."

Agreed I normally do carry 2, but this was a peewee game on a Saturday morning and I had accidentally left the kit bag with my varsity gear in the house with the dirty uniform from the night before. I was using my spare set of gear and only had one flag with me...
