I'm telling game mgmt we need a new scorer, and I'm asking game mgmt to have him removed from the gym.

If his comments were loud enough for all to hear...there's really no choice. He has to leave. If the comments were not heard by all...I might try to find a way for him to stay...it depends on his demeanor.

It's a shame the evening had to go SO bad for the guy. But he kind'a brought it on himself.

If he's quiet he might get to stay in the gym. No way he stays at the table.

What Adam said…he might be able to stay in the gym. There’s no way he’s staying at the table.

Regarding this idea – remember, the scorer and timer(s) are table officials. They’re not bench personnel. They work with/for us.

No technical foul. But he certainly gets removed from the table. As for removal from the gym... nah. Let him be a fan and yell at me like the other fans do.

At my association meeting several members said "you can't tech a member of the officiating crew!"

A lot of times the scorers will be parents of one player or another.

This. He doesn't get "rewarded" by being able to watch the game now. He gets to leave the facility.

Have had a significant incident with a scorer one time in 28 years. First call I made against the home team when I went to report it she was squawking about the call just like everybody else in the bleachers around her. I'm not a finger in the face kind of guy normally, but it was called for here. I got really close and cut her off in mid-sentence. "Lady, you are not going to sit at this table and call the game. Do you understand that?" She turned six shades of red and spent the rest of the night apologizing to me.

This is a discussion board that hinges on discussing opinions amongst other things. If you give your opinion, then you should know fully well that you open up yourself to others critiquing your opinion.

Opinions aren't necessary equal. And punctuation would certainly help your presentation.
