Called my first T

Final 7 seconds, home team is out of timeouts and down 4 in a very tense game; home team inbounds and knocks down a 3 with less than 5 seconds to play, so H12 grabs the ball and chucks it, literally, into the second level of seats. Whack. Home bench is whining because they think they are entitled to a DOG warning. Home coach was livid, and pretty much begging for another T, but with 1 second left and the one T already called, I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

This was one of those games that was a blast to officiate for about 30 of the minutes, but the last 2 were a nightmare. The emotions from both sides elevate and no matter what we call/don't call we are going to hear about it. I actually felt like I stayed focused and calm, so I'm good with my game. Although I'm sure because of our state's coach-based evaluation system I will get slammed.

*like most folks have said either way you were in a pickle, but I agree with your decision given the circumstances--congratulations.

What's the case play number for this one?

See 5.10.1 Situation E and 9.2.10 Situation A.

I agree with this. He wasn't hopping up and down or running around on the sideline or anything. After I told them they were not entitled to a warning, he just told me I was wrong "like I have been all night". Which is funny, because he actually had very little to say until the final 2 minutes.

9.2.10 SITUATION A: A1 is out of bounds for a throw-in. B1 reaches through
the boundary plane and knocks the ball out of A1’s hands. Team B has not been
warned previously for a throw-in plane infraction. RULING: B1 is charged with a
technical foul and it also results in the official having a team warning recorded
and reported to the head coach. COMMENT: In situations with the clock running
and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering
with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the
clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower’s efforts to
make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous
warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock
and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic. (4-
47-1; 10-1-5b, c; 10-3-10)

Only if he wants to appeal the ejection would a trip to Austin to appear in front of the committee be necessary. If he accepts the ejection then he gets a public reprimand (name published in the back of the UIL coaches magazine) and probation in that sport for 1 year. If he has not taken the required NFHS course then the penalty is automatically upgraded to include a game suspension. Has no bearing on the other sports he may coach.

Subsequent ejections while on probation will require that trip to Austin to have your punishment determined by the exec committee.

Since ADs hate to be associated with this process coaches are much more fearful of their wrath than that of the EC. I know several coaches who have been let go after repeated ejections because they were "embarassing" their programs.

Sorry, but this would have earned him a T from me. Why are we talking about ejecting, though? It's not flagrant.
