Summary
Head coach (Chris Adam’s) of hillcrest was wanting explanations for a lot of calls. Got very vocal about foul count in middle of
floor. There was a foul called from C across the floor by official Zach Traylor. I’m table side next to the bench, mr Adam’s
disagreed with the call by running out on floor and down the side line and past the end line to the rail in front of his fans. I let
mr Traylor report his foul, I then gave mr Adam’s an official warning. I let me Adam’s and the other 2 officials know. His actions
definitely warranted a direct technical, but I was trying to hopefully Keep him calm with a warning. Few plays later, he starts
yelling at me for 3 seconds (right after a shot) I gave him time to stop, but he continued. I then issued and technical foul to mr
Adam’s. After some time passed mr Traylor assessed a technical foul to player 0 from hillcrest due to his disagreement with the
foul call (there we’re several disagreements). Mr Traylor reported the foul and technical. The coach mr Adam’s wanted an
explanation. So I obliged him, because I seen what happened. He wasn’t hearing of it nor happy with the explanation. He
wanted a time out, we granted him a time out. Time out ended, he still wanted to ask questions about it. I said, the play is over
and so is the time out. Return to bench please. He asked for another time out, I granted it. I went to my spot in other end of
floor in front of opposing teams bench. I seen the coach Adams come out of their huddle, walk across half court yelling at
administration at other end of the floor several times motioning that they were leaving. I then assessed mr Adams his 2nd
direct technical. After that we stepped back, they began to leave the floor. Took threats players #10,#2, and #0 from hillcrest.
They were all ejected. Ball game ended
