I've been officiating 15 years and only ever thrown out one coach. And there was only one other time when I wished I had afterwards. If I ever get to 20, I'll be really surprised.

I've out right tossed one coach by giving him two T's....and gave another coach his second T after my partner had whacked him earlier. Not surprisingly, both times was during summer ball.

23 years and only 2 coaches...can't imagine having to toss 20. Crazy.

I've had a partner give two Ts to a coach once (YMCA). But this was my first.

Are we counting regular season games or these summer/off-season contests. If that is the case I have no idea how many I have sent to the showers. I know I ejected a coach in AAU this year and one during the college season this past season. I cannot remember the last ones before those times. Then again I have not counted either.

Peace

Never had to toss anyone in basketball (I doubt I'll get to ten, let alone twenty), only once ever, in soccer, an AC in a U-12 girls' tournament. He was also a parent.

I'm always curious about what motivates such behavior that will get one tossed. Of those coaches you all tossed, how many were also parents?

I am certain the woman that I got rid in the AAU game a few weeks ago was a parent. If not a parent, certainly closer to one than a coach.

Summer ball, most coaches, especially ACs, are parents.

Sadly, the HC in my game should have been done as well. I called one on him as I tried to explain why he was seat belted. I couldn't get the first sentence out before he brought up a first half situation that I had to shut him down on.

Game manager came (running both gyms at this location) and baby sat him, and also gave him a bit of a rules lesson (I'm guessing he now understands the concept and consequences of indirect technical fouls.)

This is the reason that most HS and college coaches cannot stand AAU coaches. For one they hardly can coach. Secondly they have no idea of rules or standards, which is why I had to constantly explain how to call a timeout to a particular coach (from Oklahoma BTW). And then I had another coach suggest that I had to give a warning before I T'd her behind up (from Michigan), but somehow left when I gave the second T without incident.

If you're doing AAU and haven't ejected a coach, you haven't been doing AAU.

Actually I've never ejected an AAU coach. I've T'd up my share but have never had to send one packing.

I have....and it turned out he was actually a HS coach from a different part of the state....and it turned out that, a couple years later, I was assigned his team's game in state championship quarterfinal. He didn't say much to me that night.
