Ejectionable or not?

[SE Minnestoa Re]

It's no different than I tell my employees at work--if you force me to make a decision you may not like what I come up with.

Some really good advice I was given: When an irate coach storms WAY out onto the field demanding a discussion, he's going to get one. However the advice was to walk directly to the coach, and then past him (without stopping) to the sideline, stop, turn around and wait for him to come back to that sideline for whatever discussion follows.

Bringing the coach to you helps establish some level of control and an opportunity to somewhat collect your thoughts, as well as, bringing whatever follows back to the sideline eliminates further antics "on the field".

I missed the part where the U steps off 15 while you walk the coach back. Cause no HS coach is saying that without getting a flag.

In this described instance, I was presuming the first flag had been thrown, and was referencing how to possibly
avoid needing a second flag. As suggested, I don't "walk the coach back" he has to decide to follow, and I'll wait for him (somewhat) to make that decision (which tends to improve his receptiveness, regarding any subsequent discussion) .

That only works if he is yelling at the wing and if I am the Referee (WH) in this situation, I am not giving and explanation in the middle of the game about an illegal formation. And all of that would also only work when you are done doing your responsibilities as a wing. It is possible the wing did not have time to explain anything to them. Coaches have to be smarter. It is not our job to control their behavior. They control their own behavior.

Very next play Team A comes out in same exact formation and again called for illegal formation.

Apparently this coach has a learning disability.

I only have to touch the stove once to know its hot.

As an R I would have had a flag when the coach comes out to the numbers yelling about a call, if somehow my sideline official did not. So then if he continues, and questions our integrity, he would likely get a second USL and be gone. But if he learns for the 1st flag and does not continue, he stays in the game.
