Scorer behavior
 

Varsity game. Player A1 is fouled hard and injured. His father is the home scorer. The scorer leaves his post and comes onto the floor to check on his son. As he does so he yells at and berates the officials.

Do you:

Remove him?

Remove him and eject him?

Technical foul against the home team?

Any combo of the above?

If this is a youth level game, I remove him and alert game management immediately to minimize the odds of any further antics.

It was a varsity game.

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.

Oh absolutely...that's what I meant. Thanks for pointing that out so I could clarify.

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.

Replace him...

"You are now a fan sir...go yell all you want in the stands."

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. :rolleyes:

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

Question
 

why is a parent of a player working the score anyway just curious but to answer the question he's my number 1 fan now cheer me on.

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

??????
 

does happen probably but should that be the case on a varsity level i wouldnt allow it honestly

You're going to start quizzing all the table personnel to see if they have a kid on the team and have them removed if they do? (I must be misreading your post)
