Any funny or over the top stories about coaches, parents or players?

So...many... :)
I'll just go with one of each for now.

Coach: I've dealt with a lot of crazy coaches, but only one that really totally flipped his lid. A screamer all game, had to ask him twice to calm down. His team ended up losing by one goal, and he came over to me screaming after the game, saying it was my fault he lost because I missed a throw in call that eventually led to the other team scoring the winning goal. (To be fair, my AR told me I did miss the call, and didn't see his signal. My bad.) When he calmed down for a second to take a breath, I pointed out to him that his team had missed, wait for it, FOUR penalty kicks during the game, and that maybe my throw in call wasn't the reason he lost. He turned red, screamed out "YOUR FAULT!" and walked away, before yelling at his team that everything was my fault. I was trying really hard not to laugh the entire time.

Parent: I had a parent that reported me to the state referee director because (and I saw the email or I wouldn't have believed it) my Nike shoes clearly showed that I had a bias against his team because they all wore another brand.

Player: Called a foul against a player, he turned and said "f*ck you" to me. I quickly showed a RC, and he smugly told me I couldn't do that because dissent was only a yellow card offense. I told him that offensive and abusive language is grounds for a RC and he kept protesting until his coach dragged him off the field. Fun![/quote]
