Incident Summary:Allegation that the Benicia Referee Assignor intervened when parents were making comments on the sideline to youth referees. When the assignor spoke to the parents making comments, the parents objected to the referee assignor asking them to leave the referees alone. The allegation includes a claim that the parent touched the assignor's shoulders.
Comments:As the parent was not sent off here, PAD takes no action. PAD understands that the league has suspended the parent and coach. PAD supports the action of the league and encourages the league to continue to act in the manner, if not more severely than, it has here if further incidents occur involving this or other parents. Abusing referees, in particular, youth referees is always unacceptable.
