A new one for me

Wow. Never had anything like that happen to me. As the corner official, I would have just kept walking until I was standing with the rest of the crew so the HC is basically addressing all of us. As the R, I think I would have stepped in and said something like "That game is over coach...new night, new challenges...let's move on." Of course, that is easy to say with hind sight and from the comfort of a computer.

One other thing – and this falls into the “preventive maintenance” category: When I saw I had the same school on my schedule in back-to-back games (for them) I would’ve alerted my assignor. If they left both games on my schedule so be it but I’ve done this at the HS level and every time it’s happened my assignor has changed one of those games.

U2 was a last minute fill-in on the Thursday night game due to an illness ... supervisor knew it was a back-to-back situation.

There's an old "Davism" for this: "Coach, I'd discuss this with you but I left my English-Jibberish dictionary at home."

And discuss it in pregame so partners are aware -- even if it doesn't happen before the game, if you see the beginnings of an animated discussion during the game you can rotate out of it or something.

When the coach approaches, "Coach -- I understand your point of view and I appreciate your feedback and we can have this discussion, but now is not the time or the place."

Had a team three games in a row once (away, home, away). Not a huge deal, but sometimes it's best avoided.
