Harassment
Over the weekend, we had a game where some parents attending, and the Oregon coach, reported the opposing coach was harrassing the referee (an Oregon ref), yelling things questioning his calls or non-calls, loud enough the parents on the other side could hear.
If this happens to you when refereeing, please report it to me, as many details as possible. There is never an ok situation where a coach should do this, and we will take action upon hearing of an occurrence. This is true for all games, in-house thru MAYSA.
If this happens to you during a game, do not try to talk to or argue with the coach from the field unless he/she is causing a large disturbance - just report it to me later. In the event that he or she is causing distraction from the game, you should caution the coach and warn him or her that they will be asked to leave if it continues. If it does, you can ask them to leave. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, or should you ask them to leave and they refuse, call me on the spot on my cel phone and I will be happy to talk to the coach.
