Whack a mole

While I would have preferred to have my partner call the second, his stunt was performed 10 feet away from me as I was reporting his first T. The opportunity just wasn't there.

I whacked a coach this last year. I report the T and take the ball to administer free throws as we pre-gamed. The coach is talking to my partner a lot and still seems pretty mad.
One of the teams calls timeout and my partner walks up to me and says something along the lines of "You should hear what this coach is saying about you!" I asked what he said and got a response with the phrase "This young ahole thinks he can give me a T just because...blah blah blah. I won't see his *** again this year after I call (assigner's name)." I asked him why didn't send him home. He answered because he didn't want to do the paperwork.
I ended up running the coach and doing paperwork for that, and a nice email to my assigner as to why I don't want to see that partner again.

So, uh, guess who threw out a coach tonight. . .?

Adult league play-offs. The game was supposed to be a blow-out, but the lower-seeded team was actually hanging very close. It was probably a 6 point game at this point.

This guy just went bat-bleep crazy. He complained about a call on one trip down, then absolutely just flipped over a perceived no-call on the next trip. Cursing, jumping, out on the court. Just totally out of control. I whacked him. One of his players then told me what he thought about the call. So I whacked him, too.

In truth, I should have run the coach with a second T right then; but I walked away and he thankfully calmed down enough that he was (barely) under control.

Then in the second half, his player dribbles into a double-team trap, gets stripped and the coach wants a foul and again just goes insane. So I whacked him again. His player then throws the ball over the fence and into the street. So my partner whacked him.

The coach -- surprise! -- doesn't want to leave. He left.

He might as well leave. The alternative is GAME OVER.
