The one constent I see when I read this board is how most of the officials try to be professional and how coaches are critized quite often for all the questioning of calls, and our general lack for knowledge of the rules. Now with this being said I'm confused how you can want respect or think you deserve respect because your an official, but feel it is ok to make a wise *** remark to that coach for no apprant reason but you wanted to feel good about yourself. It is officials making comments like these why most of society does not respect or care about officials. I'm sorry that you feel as a person you have the right talk down to someone because you assume you are better. I hope there are not more officials like you out in the world.

What do you want him to say? Where should he have gone? I think you just showed your hand with these comments. Nobody suggests a fellow official "smart-off" to a coach but when someone gives an answer that is obvious and a coach gets offended then that shows me that you have a chip on your shoulder.
