Joe coaches a basketball team.

During a game two parents direct derogatory comments at the referee. Joe warns the parents that they are breaching the code of conduct.

The individuals say they were not aware of the code of conduct but will "pull their heads in" in any case.

The following week Joe presents each of the parents with a code of conduct which they agree to sign and abide by.

Later in the season one of the parents becomes upset at the referee's ruling against his son and proceeds to verbally abuse the referee.

Joe responds by asking the ground official to report the parent for breach of the association code of conduct.

The official asks the parent to attend a hearing before the association committee during the week.

The association committee suspends the parent from attending three matches and asks him to meet with Joe to discuss the impact of his behaviour on the team.

Alternative arrangements are made the suspended parent's child to attend the next three games.
