Making it personal

Most people would look at a fifth and sixth grade girl’s basketball game as a bunch of young kids aimlessly running around a basketball court, getting some exercise, and having fun. Well, apparently one man in Oregon sees it differently. When the coach disagreed with a 17-year-old referee’s call in his 12-year-old daughter’s game, he decided this was a high crime against humanity that called for a physical response. After continuously berating the teenage referee, the coach was whistled for a technical foul. He then walked over to the scorer’s table and proceeded to slam his clipboard on the hand of a student scorekeeper. Another technical foul was assessed, resulting in his ejection from the game.After his ejection, he refused to leave, and instead stood in a corner and continued to shout obscenities at the referee. After the game was over, parents and fans from both teams swarmed the court and yelled at each out. At this time, the coach was seen grabbing the young referee, cocking his fist, and using vulgar language.By the end of the whole situation, most of the girls were left crying and fleeing the scene with their parents. Well, I guess we know what Bobby Knight’s been up to since leaving Texas Tech.
