I've been moved once last year and once this year in HS ball. I was fine with it in both cases. In last year's game I mishandled the situation a little. This year, different team, and my partner and I did everything right and one coach still was not happy with us. After the game I remarked to my partner, "Wait'll they see who shows up to their game next week!" But, it rained, their game got moved, and my assignor was able to give me another game instead of move me. Like I said, didn't really bother me, though I kind of wanted to see how many more rules I could get wrong in that coach's game.

By behaving badly, I meant, I couldn't help myself when I saw the coach in the resturant. This was a poorly run national tournament and during the girls' portion of the tournament, I had to eject a HC because he went nuclear on me when I called a blocking foul on his player in the open court. At that point the foul made it 4 fouls against his team and 8 against his opponents, and he was winning the game by 15 points with only 5 minutes left in the first half. His wife was court side holding their young daughter and she kept up a foul mouth tirade for the rest of the half. The TD didn't want to do anything about controlling her; finally an IU PE professor who was representing IU as a site manager had her removed by campus security when the TD wouldn't do anything.

He's a good blue,good partner, and a good guy. Me thinks he's going to go "Falling Down" on them. I have the dreams also of when I finally quit, which may be sooner then later, I'm gonna let them have it.

In hindsite, do you regret tossing all 3 after the 1st one? Not that they didnt deserve it equally, but was there another way to settle things down, gain control, and still play the game?-- maybe tossing 1 more? We've all been in sich's where we could toss multiples, and tossing 1 settles the others. Other times, you just gotta do what you gotta do. What did the 1st player say to get ejected? |

1 - I wasn't there. 2 - Who am I to second guess him? Things just happen, and you deal with them the best you can. If he wants advice, he'll ask for it.

As someone else posted earlier we need to be professional about ejections.As a rule you eject someone and that person should be given a "clean slate"the next time you do their game. Now if an argument had gotten personal I would advise that official to lay low until they could officiate that coach's game like any other.WE are human and sometimes emotions can get heated it's our job to prevent the fire.
