I sometimes wish the game would end when we are getting thumped, but NEVER have I wished for a game to be suspended for how it was called or how we were doing.

This kind of comment is completely without basis and has nothing to do with anything I have stated in this thread. I have repeated stated that I would expect it to be an extreme circumstance for game management to feel they had to step in and end a game. And if I were either coach in this game, I would feel like my players lost out, even if the call had to be made to kick out a ref.

I hate games getting stopped for anything, snow, the other team forfeiting, - anything. I just love game day. While I might support a decision like this on further reflection, my initial reaction would probably be pretty negative.
