Great game last night

Good ice breaker.

I'm on my board's training committee. During one of our sessions, there were, understandably, a lot of questions about technical fouls being charged to coaches. When it came to ejections, the chair of our committee told the newbies that the ejection of a coach is a very rare event. To demonstrate, he asked the members of our committee, there were about eight of us there that night, "Who has ejected a coach". I raised my hand, the only one to do so in our little group. The chair asked me, "Who?". I responded by simply pointing and said, "That coach". There were two former varsity coaches in our training group. The coach responded, "And now that I know the rules, I deserved it".

I've wondered about only doing boy's games as well but we've had a good streak of 'decent' girls games as well.

We had a great game last night as well. Cross-town rivalry game with a packed house. Gotta love it!!

It has been an interesting season for me. In my primary association, I had two girls games before Thanksgiving. No girls games until January. Then opened with a couple of DHs the first week of January. Gave back a girls DH due to an illness in the family. And a single game last week. All the rest have been boys and will be right to the end.

With my secondary association, it has been close to the opposite. Had 5 GV tournament games in late December. And I think all but 5 games with them have been on the girls side.

Most seasons, it has been more of an even mixture.

I've only ejected one myself - Rec league. Whack x 2! Both by me (I had an inexperienced partner). He was way out of control and over the line.

Interesting part(s) of the situation:

His wife was keeping the clock and when I gave him his minute to depart the gym, his wife had to convince him to go.

After he departed, his team rallied from a fifteen point deficit to win.

Wonder if they benched him the next game?😃

Yeperdoodle!

I was pleased when the league supported me and suspended him for the next game.

I've only had one game where the coach got booted. I gave him the first T. This guy thought he was that Duke coach working with 7th grade YMCA kids; apparently a former semi-pro player. This was my second game with him, and I'd been warned about him before my first game. A quick talk worked the first game; not the 2nd. His kids won all their games by 30-40 points, and he was still screaming for every call.
A complete a$$ hat, and he didn't coach any more games for the YMCA after that one.

My guy was just downright obnoxious over three periods. He just wore me down, and I just ran out of patience. Two T's, both from me. "Enjoy sitting on the cold bus, Coach." (I just thought that part, I didn't actually say it, although I wanted to.)

I hope that he realizes that's he's the only personal responsible for how quick the "T" will be. All Rich is doing is reacting.

Let me tell you, I had a smile on my face but all that was running through my mind was, "It's completely up to you, a$$hole." 😀

And that was my very first thought exactly on reading his weak statement to you. 😀
