Just goes to show why you are a coach. You are more worried about power. Because power has nothing to do with a game. Maybe to you it is, but at the end of the day, we are talking about just a game.

Now it makes sense, your not there because you love the sport, or care about kids, your there because at the end of the day you can flex your powerful muscle and remove a coach that might have a legitimate complaint that you missed some calls.

I can make a better point by keeping you in the game then dumping you. Whether you stay or not is up to you.

Oh wait sorry I'm being logical again, officials never miss calls, they never change the flow of a game, they never win or lose a game for a team, they never get disciplined because they do not make mistakes, hmmmmm at the end of the day they are the most constant thing in basketball. Ahhh now Im starting to learn. Thank you for your wisdom J Rut!!!!!!!

No, I do not win or lose a game for a team. I can send you to the line, but you have to make the shots. Most calls I make or any official makes are obvious. I do not throw the ball in the stands, I just call it when it happens. I do not tell you to take on the biggest player in the game when you are the smallest player on the floor. Just like the Duke/North Carolina game, it was not the officials that let Ewing go directly to the basket. It was not the officials that keeps you from boxing out and letting easy baskets. So if you feel free to blame us for all the problems that your team has, do that. But when you get fired, like many coaches, funny I never hear the officials as for that reason. At some point you have to take complete responsiblity for you job. I probably take ten times more responsibility for my mistakes than you ever will. Because I always recognize my mistakes on the floor and try to learn from those. When you keep that player in too long that has 4 fouls, I guess it is my fault he picks up the 5th.
Peace
