I would file charges. It will stop all that stuff and stop doing that league if the league supervisors do not take any action. I would not rely on just the league supervisors as they are motivated by money and letting things not ruffle the league than doing the right thing.

Peace

Yup, will do.
Say they do ban her for a year or even life (which i think is a bit much) what about when I or another official sees her in the City of Lakewood or Glendale & she pulls this stunt again?
*leaning toward pressing charges*

Just curious if anybody that replied has read the article in RM?

I would call the cops. If boyfriends were present, some of them may play in leagues and now they know what they can get away with when they see you. You are there to referee a basketball game. You don't have to take that and you certainly don't want to confront the person - take the macho route. Some states have laws about doing things like this to sports officials. The buck should stop with you. Your fellow Denver officials will appreciate it.

Actually, that would have been Ron Garretson.

Exactly. They need to know, your assignor needs to know and she needs to be gone forever. If that means filing charges, fine. The next time, she might throw something besides a basketball or worse.

1. Seems like the problem is systemic in this league. Might be time to evaluate whether you've got enough support from the league to continue working their games.

2. I wouldn't recommend socking any player of either gender here. Defending yourself physically is one thing, retaliation is another issue altogether.

3. That's assault, but whether you press charges is up to you. I'm not sure I would, but I'd certainly talk to some of my friends in blue.

Yeah, that's the ticket!


Snaqs, you're right about the retaliation... I was hot!
My other sitch happened in a youth league, not the same facility. My assignors & the supervisor have spoken, so far she is suspended indefinitely. The supervisor also contacted the police, apparently they recommend that I go to the facility & file the report with the supervisor.

Hey tref: I think that you misunderstood me. I didn't ask if your were hot. I asked if she was hot.

I'd probably file charges and have done so in the past before in my very first year officiating.
