Never saw this before

Imagine that you literally bumped into her on your way out and her way in if you must, but she was there and very much visible so that is where the discussion begins.

Another twist. Around here, game assignment are near %100 girl/boy doubleheaders. It is not unheard of for the officials to not leave the gym at all between games.

Honestly, unless I trip over her on my way off the court, I'm not doing anything.

And not leaving the court is a mistake. When I lived in a G/B DH state, we *always* left the floor, got a drink, took a few minutes, then came back out as if it's a new day / new game.

I'm outta there.

Don't go looking for trouble, enough trouble finds you.

Agreed. We go to the dressing room to retrieve jackets, drink some water, and take a couple of minutes to re-focus.

Only way I see her, and penalize her, is if she cuts us off on the way out the door. Other than that, I'm gone. If someone were to complain to the conference or supervisor, I would just be honest and say the game was over and I saw nothing wrong with her actions.

I'm not forfeiting (the proper penalty, not a T) a game after the final buzzer.

I agree with BNR and others. I'm not penalizing the coach unless .... .

Don't Put S*** In The Game!!

What if, as you're tripping over her on the way off the court, she says;
(a) "Ha ha! How do you like that?! In your face!"
(b) "You guys are idiots!"
(c) "You guys are fu****g idiots!"

Then we're shooting FTs, I'm reporting it to the state, and they can determine whether her team will forfeit (always an option to forfeit after the fact). It's likely this game would be officially recorded as a 2-0 victory.

I don't presume to speak for Adam, but I would hope we would all shoot free throws in a, b, and c, whether the coach had previously been ejected or not.
