Incident Summary:	The Stockton Storm coach pulled his team off the field claiming the safety of his players was at risk. Coaches have the right to do this at all times. However, after the game a Stockton Storm spectator verbally berated and cussed at the youth referee.
Comments:	It is never acceptable for referees to be verbally berated, particularly youth referees. Coaches are responsible for the behavior of their team's spectators. Spectators are never allowed on the field after games to verbally abuse the referees. The coach of the Stockton Storm team, Augustine Hernandez, is suspended 5 games for failing to control his team's spectators. The PAD Committee recommends that Stockton Storm take additional action against this spectator, including suspension and possibly a course from a group like the Positive Coaching Alliance.
