jrut, what you are suggesting occurred did not by any account here. If the AD didn't like the calls and so removed the ref, I am sure that follow-up review would handle this situation differently than one in which the ref popped off at the crowd. And even in this case, a review of events may find that the ref is not in the wrong. But game management felt they needed to act and did - they will be accountable for their actions.

But in an HS contest, if the ref displays unacceptable conduct, somebody has to be able to step in and remove him. This is obviously not the run of the mill situation, but I have no issue with this occurring here.
What are you talking about? I am not suggesting anything. You cannot just throw out an official because of language alone. If you read the entire follow up, the folks in the know claim that this did not follow procedure. No administrators can just step in. If that is the case they can do that when they do not like the job you are doing. I could see if there was a fight with an official or that officials was attacked, but this is a he said, she said type situation. Whatever he said, he said and no administrator heard it apparantly. We like to talk about rules, where does the rules cover this. Because you cannot just dumb an official just because you do not like their behavior.

Peace
