Bballcoach,

What if every fan, parent, official etc. made non-stop comments about your coaching abilities, decision making skills, and play calling that you make in a game. How would you feel if you knew that you were bustin your *** out there to coach these kids and these comments were being made?

Officials don't go on to the floor looking to be bad asses or jerks. We just want to make sure that the game is played in a fair manner. Try playing a game against your teams biggest rival with no officials and let me know how it turns out....

There are many times in a game I would love to turn to a coach and say... "Aw come on coach, when is your team gonna stop turning over the ball" or "You better start playing man D" etc.... But I don't beacuse you are the coach and I am the official. I just want to do my job, improve my skills, learn a little something for next time and leave.

Why do you feel that just because your a coach your knowledge of the rules and how the game should be officiated are far superior to those that have dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to become officials? How do you know if an official "missed a call" or made a wrong call? Could you pass the 100 question test we take every year? I got a perfect score BTW.

It really sounds like your the one on a power trip and don't like having to listen to the officials.

By the way bballcoach... What is "over the back"??? As a coach I am sure you can define this because I can't find it anywhere. (get my point???)
