	Keaton Penny		April 13	David B Wright	Hey there Administrators I am sorry this did not come through as I thought it did Friday Night. As soon as I got home from the game I put this report in but I did a yellow card first then a red as a 2nd yellow and this did not get through to you. Sorry about that I now know not to do the report that way when it is a second yellow. I think that you can see my notes from the previous report but here are the details. 59th Minute Cottonwood was attacking and the ball was at the top of the penalty area. As the attacking player went forward the defender knocked the ball side ways and the attacking player then tripped. It appeared to all that he was tripped with the ball. I looked over at the AR and he was not signalling foul and I was not either as the defense made a great play but it looked real bad. Cottonwood players and coaches were upset with a call not being made. Timpview then gained control of the ball and began an attack. As the players were coming back with the play of the ball at about 10 yards out from me #29 said "get your fucking head in the game". I said "hey watch your language". We continued down the field with play for about 15 yards and as he passed me again he said "where is your fucking mind?" I looked at the attack that timpview was making and I let it play out until cottonwood gain control of the ball( about 15 - 20 seconds) then I blew the whistle. I spoke loudly to all players "we will be starting here with an indirect free kick for Blue" and I raised my hand to signal that and then I went over to #29. Showed him the yellow card for foul and abusive language. At that point he raised his arm about chest high and flipped me off which all watched so my hands were tied and I issued a second yellow and then a red card.

	Dusty Neilsen, assistant coach.	Baseball	2017-04-05	Ken Avery	This game was very intense, with several incidents leading up to the ejection. Both teams and coaching staffs were warned to control themselves after coaches from each team converged to argue with each other after a player from Bingham allegedly had words with a player from Cottonwood. Neither me nor Thomas heard any derogatory comments that led to this incident. This event occurred after the bottom half of the 7th inning ended, close to the Bingham dugout. In addition, the coaches from Cottonwood had become increasingly vocal as the game progressed about their displeasure with the strike zone and other disputed calls. The warning to the teams was given by UIC Thomas Paxton, to settle the coaches down and try to restore some calm and control to the game. In the top of the 10th inning, Bingham had a runner on 2nd with less than 2 outs. As the field umpire, I was in the C position. The batter hit a deep fly ball to center field, and the runner on 2nd recognized that the ball would not be caught, and headed for third, rounded third, and scored. I watched the fly ball, and Thomas, being the plate ump, tracked the runner. When the play ended, Cottonwood appealed at third base that the runner missed third. The third baseman looked at me after he touched third base on the appeal, and the Cottonwood coaches looked at me, as if I was the umpire responsible for tracking the runner around third. I pointed to Thomas, who ruled the runner safe, that he touched 3rd base. At that point, Cottonwood’s assistant coach, Dusty Neilsen, was standing in the dugout entrance, and started yelling at Thomas. He started by yelling, “why are you making that call. That’s not your call, you weren’t even watching the play, you didn’t see that, you’re horrible, you’ve been horrible all day, this game is too fast for you, you aren’t even paying attention,” and comments similar to that – directed at Thomas. Thomas looked toward the dugout, and made the assumption that head coach Jason Crawford was the one making derogatory comments, and told Jason he was restricted to the dugout. The assistant coach said, “that’s me saying those things, not him.” So Thomas ejected the assistant coach, and restricted Jason to the dugout.
	Dusty Nielsen	Baseball	04-05-2017	Thomas Paxton	I was the plate umpire and my partner, Ken Avery, was the field umpire. To provide context, I will discuss two incidents before I discuss the incident resulting in the Cottonwood assistant coach's ejection and the head coach's restriction to the bench. (1) In the bottom of the 3rd (or perhaps 4th) inning, incidental contact between the batter-runner and the first baseman occurred on a play at first base. This incident resulted in player warnings to the batter-runner (Cottonwood player #27 Hayden Rosenkrantz) and the first baseman (Bingham player #35 Nick Burdette) after both players "stared each other down" and words were exchanged between them (though I did not hear the words that were exchanged). (2) At the conclusion of the seventh inning, after Cottonwood tied the game 5-5, an incident between the third-base coach for Cottonwood and the Bingham bench occurred. Several players from both teams, almost all of Cottonwood's coaches, and some of Bingham's coaches were involved in the incident (which occurred mostly in foul territory in front of Bingham's dugout). I did not witness the initial conduct by Cottonwood's coach or Bingham's bench. From my perspective, once the 7th inning concluded and the game was continuing into extra innings, the teams were changing from offense to defense without incident. I would estimate that the dispute started more than 20-30 seconds after the conclusion of the inning. Once I saw the dispute occurring, my partner and I immediately attempted to, and did, restore order. The incident was entirely verbal--no punches or physical contact between the teams occurred. Cottonwood's coaches were restraining Cottonwood's third-base coach, and I was unable to determine who was "involved" from Bingham's dugout--other than several Bingham coaches were attempting to restore order. No players or coaches were ejected or restricted following the incident, but both teams were warned that any further actions would result in ejections/restrictions to players and/or coaches. In the top of the 10th inning, with zero outs (or one out) and one strike to the batter, Mr. Nielsen made several statements that merited ejection based on arguing ball/strike and prior calls. [For instance, Jason Crawford (Cottonwood's head coach) disputed a call on the playing field for failure to either touch or tag-up at third base on a base hit (he instructed the pitcher to make a dead ball appeal at third base); obviously, no tag-up is required on a base hit, the runner was on second base at the time of the pitch, and he touched third base. Mr. Crawford realized his error during our discussion and returned to the dugout.] Mr. Nielsen said, among other things: "[Y]ou don't know what you're doing"; "[T]hat's not even your call"; and "You're terrible." I called time and ejected Mr. Crawford for these statements; however, Mr. Crawford stated that it was Mr. Nielsen who made the comments. (This was accurate because Mr. Crawford was at the end of the dugout near first base and Mr. Nielsen was nearest me in the dugout.) Accordingly, I ejected Mr. Nielsen for these statements, and I restricted Mr. Crawford to the bench for the remainder of the game.
	Taya Frances	GirlsBasketball	2017-11-28	Brianne Bremner	Player had been throwing excessive fouls all game, nothing worthy of an intentional or flagrant. During a rebound of a free-throw she threw her right elbow twice into a shooting team player's neck. She was out of the game with an injury. I talked to my partner and we agreed to call a flagrant foul. Player was ejected from the game.
	Sophomore Head Coach	BoysBasketball	2018-01-09	Steven Layton	Cottonwood Sophomore Head Coach was ejected after receiving his second direct technical foul for disrespectful behavior exhibited towards the officials and unsporting behavior. This technical foul was also the 3rd bench technical.
	Caleb Manuel	Baseball	2018-04-06	NIAA (Nevada)	Top of 5th inning, player was at bat. He complained about a called strike 2 (count was then 1 ball, 2 strikes). He said "that was crap, not a strike", and I immediately issued him a warning at the plate regarding arguing balls & strikes. Final count on the batter was 3 balls & 2 strikes. I called the batter out on a high fast ball for strike 3. The batter proceeded to leave the batter's box toward 1st base and then realized it was a called 3rd strike and then player immediately threw his bat down in argument. The bat was not tossed but thrown down. This player was immediately ejected.
