You'reThe Reason Officials Get A Bad Name

You undermine the ideals and integrity of all officials with your comments and attitude. First, if you actually are an official then you know you don't act as a "tattle tale" with the fan's and coach's around you with regard to the officiating. Secondly as an announcer you are hired by someone whether it be team or tounament oriented which means you have an agenda to please these people and are not impartial as the officials on the floor are. Thirdly with regard to your statements about ejection of fans and techincal fouls, please if you can take a look at this year's NCAA rule book (Rule 10 Sect. 5 & 6 - Pgs. 129-131) where for a page and half it talks about Indirect Technical Fouls For Unsporting Conduct By Followers. And for you and the rest of your fan followers please pay close attention to Article 4 which reads "Direspectfully addressing an official, which includes the use of profanity or language that is abusive, vulgar, or obscene". You are joke and are part of the problem for which this rule has been created!
