Summer ejection #1

[Rich]

Working 4 games yesterday. These are games 5 and 6 since March. With my parents in town, the $100 I made paid for dinner. Almost.

Quiet as can be all day, except for a short burst in the first half of game 2.

Team A in a halfcourt set. A40, a real GFU, cleared space for a teammate driving with the ball by moving an opponent out of the way. Really easy team control foul, which I call.

A40 then starts up the floor, clapping his hands loudly above his head. Partner and I whack him at the same time. A40 then has a meltdown and as he's heading to the bench takes his jersey off over his head. Partner and I eject him at the same time.

Yeah, I know. Those street taco wagons can be really expensive.

You know, they really got on us in camps this summer about double whistles...

Who's watching the other 8 players?

The 9th player presumably.

He's on the honor system and thus the officials don't have to worry about him.

And to stay somewhat on topic, haven't had to eject anyone this summer...handful to T's here and there.

Just one in camp. Kid was complaining about calls from his first foul. Gave him one in the 2nd half. He responded with, "I don't give a f***." And there ended our interactions for the afternoon.

Had him in the evening session and he was fine. My guess is his HC spoke with him (it was a team camp).

They aren't being paid enough to look at those players.

Still early in the game. Did the kid do anything prior that got you two riled? Maybe he's a goof with an immature attitude; but is it possible you and your partner had a prior attitude toward him as well? I don't know, maybe I would have done the same thing or perhaps told the team captain to tell A40 he's gonna get whacked next time.

Really? You're going to warn on this?

In the first incident, maybe. The kid was on his way down the floor, and apparently nothing had gone on before this. It wasn't like the kid stood there looking and clapping directly at the official. But as I also said, maybe I would have done the same as Rich were it me.

Knowing Rich, I'm relatively certain he isn't trigger happy with the technical fouls. I can safely assume that if I saw this video, I'd happily concur with the first T. The second is practically automatic.

I had an assistant coach eject himself Friday night...can I count that one?

There, fixed it for ya!
