Keneth Melendez April 25 Kenneth Bryson We had a play where a player was driving down the field and got pulled on (defensive player was YC on the play) and this player (32) ran across the field and violently pushed the player during the run. This escalated the whole incident.
Chris Bestenlehner April 28 JARED SPENCER Refer to #8 Victor Benitez from Wasatch for explanation.
Brook Abeyta September 19 JARED SPENCER Not exactly sure how to enter this one, other than I will explain the yellow then the red. So This player was playing slow and with a bit of an attitude. I asked for her to give better play. Then the next foul I called on her I warned and explained the reasoning of which the foul was called and she gave more attitude. It was not more than two minutes and she fouled again. She questioned the call in a sour way but I was willing to let the attitude go but not the persistent infringement. she proceeded to tell me what a horrible ref I was and I needed to get a clue. I just looked at her and shook my head and said I am sorry and took out the yellow card and asked her to leave when she was walking off the field she proceeded to call me names and show her disgust for having to endure such an awful ref. And she swore under her breath. SO the second yellow came and the automatic red to follow. So the first yellow for persistent infringement and second yellow for decent and then the automatic red for two yellows.
Heslar Salguero April 10 JARED SPENCER This is the second yellow. and it was for decent. This boy struggled all game long. Really playing way too rough and playing the player not the ball to knock them of the ball. And after I gave the first yellow for persistent infringement he decided he was going to proceed to tell me what a horrible ref I was and I didn't know what I was talking about. When I asked that he just zip it and say no more he couldn't stop and told me what an idiot I was. And other things under his breath walking away and waving me off like I meant nothing.
Grayson Goodrich April 12 Jared Spencer Pretty straight forward. The Keep (Grayson) from Uintah, exited the box to about the 25 yard line looking to stop the attack from the Wasatch forward. In doing so the Wasatch forward attempted to flick it past the keep and the keep deliberately reached out and stopped the ball. (DOGSO) He knew what he did was not right and instantly apologized and new what was coming. I am sure a knee jerk reaction but still the forward had clearly broken away from the pack and only had the keep to beat.
Unknown GirlsBasketball 2017-12-29 Chance Lathim Approximately 6 minutes left in the third quarter Uintah’s assistant coach was quite loud saying you need to make that call. She continued to say it until I told her that she was an assistant coach and that i didn’t want to hear anymore out of her. She continued so I issued an indirect technical foul to the head coach. After the free throws we went back up the court toward Uintah’s bench. The head coach for Uintah’s was right beside me stating that I needed to call that down here repeatedly. I issued her a Direct technical foul. She then came out on the court towards me and continued saying that calls needed to be called. I Then issued her another direct technical foul which resulted in the ejection.
Hoffart GirlsBasketball 02-06-2018 Valton Mortenson This documentation is for the Uintah vs Spanish Fork girls sophomore basketball game on February 6th at Uintah High School. The game started with Spanish Fork committing three quick fouls. The Spanish Fork coach calmed down his girls and they stopped fouling. Uintah started fouling and we were in the one and one before the end of the first quarter. In the first quarter, my partner Wayne Gingel, issued a warning to the Uintah coach about arguing calls and the warning was noted in the book. In the second quarter the fouling continued with Uintah reaching the double bonus first and then Spanish Fork reached it near the end of the half. At half time, Wayne talked with me and told me that he heard the Uintah coach call me by name and argue a call. I didn't hear him do this. Wayne said if he did this again he would give the coach a technical and that I should administer a technical if called out by the coach. I said I would watch for this. In the third quarter or maybe the beginning of the fourth Uintah's coach came out on the court at least 10 feet and started arguing a call. I immediately gave the coach a technical foul. We shot the one and one for the fouled Spanish Fork girl and then the technical for the coach's arguing. The fans on the Uintah side were not happy and continued to ride the referees the rest of the game. The head coach for Uintah remained seated for the rest of the game coaching his girls. The other Uintah coaches complained about calls, but we let the game continue. The foul count for the entire second half of the game was fairly even the whole half and both teams were in the double bonus with about 3 minutes left in the game. Spanish Fork lead the entire second half by about 4 to 6 points. With three seconds left in the game, I called a pushing foul on a Uintah girl as she knocked a Spanish Fork player to the ground. Uintah's head coach got up off the bench (he already had a warning and 1st technical) and came onto the court. Wayne came and talked with me and said we could give a second technical for leaving the bench and entering the court to argue a call. This would result in an ejection and the coach wouldn't be able to coach the next game. I told Wayne that I didn't want to do this and that we should shoot the free throws and go home. We shot the free throws, and the game ended with a Spanish Fork victory by 6 points. As soon as the game buzzer sounded, Uintah's head coach stormed the court shouting that we were the worst referees he had ever seen. He got in my face and screamed, "You're terrible!" The JV girls coach tried to restrain him and said he should leave. Wayne and I were standing near mid-court about 2/3 of the way from both benches. The coaches had to come at least 30 feet to yell at us face to face. I said that's enough and gave the coach another technical. He again yelled at us and the JV coach was able to persuade him to leave the court. The JV coach, Kristin Christopherson, was trying to calm the head coach and did not yell at the officials. Wayne and I made sure the technical fouls and warning were recorded in the book. Wayne said the coach had gotten right in my face and that I had done the right thing. I tried to find out what the head coaches name was from the scorers table and they said it was Hofert. Wayne and I then went and found the Uintah Athletic Director and told him what happened. He told us to file a report and he would look into the matter. When Wayne and I returned to the locker room together, Kaylon, Jared and Lori were there after refereeing the varsity boys game. We asked them what we should do. They said we needed to call Mike Davis and tell him. I called Mike from the locker room and he said to go home and write up what happened. He said he would find out what we should do after that. Both Wayne and I believe we called a good game. The Spanish Fork coach didn't get on the referees. The Uintah coach argued many calls and incited his fan base. Both teams were in the double bonus in both halves, and fouls were called as they occurred.
