very thing. It is insane what coaches and parents expect these officials to put up with. I just suspended a father from games for the rest of the month and let him know if it ever happened again he would not be allowed back to games. He said he may pull his son. I told him that would be regrettable as it would be a tremendous lesson in reinforcing all the wrong behaviors, but that the team would be far better off without his son's considerable talents then sending a message we allow that type of behavior. Two days later he sent me an apology.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
