Cards aplenty

[timasdf]

A referee friend of mine told me that he had a coach shout "that F-ing BS" (the coach didn't abbreviate) during the COIN FLIP...

wait for it...


at an elementary school VB match.

Apparently, the coach was furious that the ref didn't flip the coin over after it landed in his hand.

I don't recall what the ref did about the coach.

What match? The one the coach wouldn't be in? At an elementary match if you pull that crap I would send you out of the gym. As the age gets older, more is allowed, but I don't allow any swearing at the elementary or middle school level, especially like that.

If I recall correctly, the coach was hoisted during the pre-match conference.

I agree that the younger the players, the more strict the language enforcement. That said, I am likely more strict about unsporting behavior than most other officials - at all levels.

At minimum, that would have been a red card from me in a high school match.
