Whack a mole
Had to play whack a mole tonight. A T on an AC who thought he could stand and call traveling that he thought I missed. Then another on him as he sarcastically cheered as I reported the first one. First coach I've tossed.

By your 20th you won't even think it's unusual.

I've not worked a lot of this summer ball before this year, and these are my first MAYB games. Interesting mix of coaches.

So the coach thought everyone came to see him?

You see things in summer you would never see or hear during the regular season. Interesting is a nice way to put their behavior.

Peace

In one summer I've seen five seasons worth of middle school coach bs. I've also seen a lot of good, though.

Baby, bath water and all that.

First coach you've ever tossed? If you, welcome to the club!

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
