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.

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.
