Puka Nacka BoysBasketball 12-10-2016 Jeff Pace I called a shooting foul on #2 from the C position table side, the Lone Peak player went to the ground face down and stayed there for 2 seconds, #2 claimed he was kicked by him, (neither myself nor Adam Stark or Ryan Severson seen a kick), after the foul call, #2 came over after the play and pushed the Lone Peak player 3-4 times Ryan came across in the lead position opposite and gave a Flagrant Technical Foul to him. We got together and discussed the play and ejected him. We don't have the time nor the Lone Peak player number i am sure it is on the film.
I don't remember his name BoysBasketball 2017-12-19 Sam Prestwich The player was identified early as a possible game wrecker with because of his play and attitude on the court towards the opponent and referee's. The two officials discussed how to approach his attitude and knew that he was one to watch. My partner was visibly annoyed that the player was at times not stopping at the sound of a whistle. The player would continue to try and strip or wrestle the ball away from the opponent. Several fouls were called on the player during the course of the game. During a transition of play for A.F. I was lead official running down court table side and was looking back over my shoulder at the action. Close to mid court I see #14 fully extend both arms and shove an opponent while saying, "Get the Fuck off". The shoved player stumbled backwards but stayed on his feet. I immediately issued a technical foul on #14 and ejected him from the game. I then explained to Orem's coach that player #14 was ejected for foul language. I consulted with my partner on the administration of the technical. Questions from the score keeper required me to approach the table. Whole at the table both Orem and A.F.coaches were chirping at me. I then issued official warnings to both coaches. 2 free throws and possession for A.F. Were awarded.
Mitchell BoysBasketball 2018-02-09 Greg Graves In the second half of this JV game, the intensity started to pick up with both teams being a little more physical than in the first half. On a drive to the hole, number 22 felt like he got fouled. I was at Trail, when I noticed he was starting to run with some intensity. I noticed the look in his eye and followed him as he ran in front of Salem Hills player and ran with him for about five or six steps. After crossing half court, he turned over his right shoulder looked at the player and punched him in the groin. I was no more than five or six feet from the players when this happened. I had an extremely good view of the punch and I know exactly what I saw. I immediately gave him a technical and ejected him from the game. I explained to the coach what happened, and he did not argue he just wondered if it was necessary for the ejection. I informed him that it was my judgment that the intention was there to warrant the action which I gave the player. The Orem coach had warned me that the Salem Hills player was really rough with that particular player in the sophomore game before this. I let him know that I was not on the game and I’m here to officiate this game, however it should be noted that the player that got punched did end up receiving an intentional foul near the end of the game for elbowing a player in the chest with two players on the ground.
Fisher Hermansen Baseball 2018-03-13 David Moore A relief pitcher came in to warmup to pitch for Orem, in between innings. The catcher was in the dugout getting ready, so the pitcher was being warmed up by the head coach. The pitcher threw 10 warm-up pitches before the catcher came out. I called for batter up as the catcher came out. At the end of the next half inning the assistant coach, Fisher Hermansen, stopped at the plate on his way to the dugout and angrily asked why I didn’t let his pitcher warm up. He was within a foot of me, so I stepped back and responded “He warmed up, he threw 10 pitches.” He began being loud and challenging about how ridiculous it was that I didn’t let him warm up. I asked him to stop, he refused and continued being loud and pointing at me and the mound and the dugout verbally attacking me personally. I warned him that if he didn’t stop, he would be restricted, and gave him a verbal warning. He finally stopped and headed to the dugout. I informed the Head Coach his assistant had been given a warning. The head coach asked me why, and as I started to give him a brief explanation, Fisher interrupted and began loudly complaining again. I immediately restricted him, but he wouldn’t stop being loud, and complaining. I then ejected him and informed him of the ejection. The Head Coach heard the ejection conversation. Head coach never attempted to get Fisher to stop. I informed the head coach because Fisher was ejected he as head coach was by rule, now restricted to the dugout. He complied and went to the dugout.
T. Gill Baseball 2018-04-11 David Moore Bottom of 5th Inning, player #8, Travis Gill at bat called third strike. From the batter’s box, Gill put the bat over his head close to his back, then swung back forward over his head with full force and hit the plate with his bat causing a loud thud. Gill then, with both hands swung the bat over the top of his head to his back and then threw the bat back over the top of his head, end over end, in the air toward his dugout. The bat hit the ground 1-2 feet from the dugout railing and bounced. Gill then leaned forward while leaving the batter’s box said in a voice loud enough to be heard by fans and players in each dugout, “Fucking shit!” Gill was ejected for intentionally throwing the bat, creating a dangerous situation for others, and unsportsmanlike conduct.
