Towards the end of the game, his player went down hurt. It was not due to any contact on a recent play. She was just hurting. This was behind me. As I turned, I saw it, but the other team had possession of the ball and was attacking. I didn't stop play and he flipped out. He was demanding that I stop the play. I tried to tell him I wasn't going to as long as the attack was in progress. When the attack was over and his goalie was in control of the ball, I blew the whistle. He was screaming at me that I had to blow the whistle and I didn't know what I was doing and needed to learn the rules. I spoke with the AR and he agreed she didn't go down due to contact. Regardless, he kept yelling at me as I told him that was enough. Kept at it and I told him he was done and was ejected from the game. He agreed and went to the other side of the field behind the fans. I told him he needed to remove himself from site of the field. He left so we restarted. I saw him later behind a fence that was between 10 and 15 yards from the field. I stopped play at a throw in and told him he had to go to the bus. He asked which bus and I told him I didn't care, but that he needed to not be near the fields anymore. He told me to go focus on my game and learn the rules. |
