Ejection?
Local youth travel league, 6th grade boys. The visiting team coach is also a 20-year official in our chapter. Both coaches have been fine all game. Up 10 with 5 minutes left, home coach starts griping about the foul count. I give him a stare and he drops it. Very next play, his player falls down with the ball. An opponent was moving toward him but the home player went down on his own, no question. I call the travel. Home coach pops up to protest. In this league, the assignor has told us that a coach standing to question a call is an automatic T, so I call that. Probably was warranted even without the rule. Anyway, the coach says "I know the other coach is an official, but come on!"
Second T or no? |
No, at least not yet.
|
Laugh it off and move on. If he brings it up again: whack, get out.
|
Probably not, but maybe in 6th grade boys.

We have the coaching box. However, in this youth league, they've made the rule more restrictive. Coaches can stand to instruct their players but are to then sit back down, and, as noted above, standing while questioning a call ores pressing displeasure is to be always penalized with a technical foul.

No second T there, but the radar may be up a little higher.

Actually, this is pretty simple. First, give him the T. Then go out to the parking lot and puncture the tires on his car. Then go to his house and hide the remote! I guarantee he won't ever give you any trouble again. This has worked for me dozens of times.

Not official
They don't want to write it down. It is covered via 2-3.
