Official's Jurisdiction

How much time between games?

I will often go get water, go to the rest room. Sit down and talk to my partner about either the previous game of the up coming game.

In A, I pass and walk away.

In B, Why would he? Again, try to pass but it's based on how and what was said.

I had a coach say to me " You suck, you will NEVER work one of my games" He was the varsity coach I was doing the JV game. Nothing I could do about it. He was sitting on opposite side of gym away from the team.

This is probably a "when in Rome" response, but if that happened here, the official would be expected to file a report with the state HS association. Our State HS association is really emphasizing sportsmanship in all athletic settings. There would definitely be some repercussions for this type of comment by a Varsity coach.

I put on a shirt or jacket over my stripes and sit somewhere that causes people to go out of their way to approach me. And unless it's a sexy mom they'll be approaching a man with a D.F.W.M scowl on his face.

It's actually one of my pet peeves in camp or multi-game venues when officials walk or sit around in their stripes (especially those who untuck their shirts ).

Put a shirt or jacket on immediately after the game and it makes it easier to go unnoticed.

I'll be honest. I don't bother with this in YMCA or AAU games. Then again, I don't untuck my shirt, either. I consider it a uniform, and I do not half-*** any uniform in public.

This wouldn't help much around here. We tend to see the same coaches a lot so they know who we are, plus we tend to be the only ones in the gym wearing black shorts (who aren't teenagers). We're easy to find if someone wants to find us. Also, I'm not going to run and hide - most are smart enough not to approach us. If they do I can handle it, but I won't get myself into trouble in the way I handle it.

I am still refereeing (BETTER?), he is no longer coaching. I work his old school at the varsity level on a regular basis and I also work 2 other schools both bigger than his...he who smiles last...

Terrapins Fan:

Oh yes there is quite a lot you can do. You cannot charge him with a TF but he is a representative of the schools involved that evening.

1) I am stopping the game and I am having Game Management remove him from the gym.

2) I will let the varsity game officials know what I did so that they can be alert to any possible misconduct by the HC.

3) I will send a Game Report to my StateHSAA the very next day.

That wouldn't fly here. He's part of the basketball program at that school and he is expected to conduct himself properly at all times.

Whack. Get out.
