There are many types of coaches out there. From what I can tell, it seems that you are a divide and conquer type of coach. You attempt to divide referees against each other by thoughts such as this. Rather than repect our efforts and our determination to render fair and just judgements, you prefer to attempt to distract us by making comments that border on personal attacks. I can assure you that type of behavior would get you nowhere with most officials that I work with.

As far as the players remembering interactions that they have with officials, it is rare that a player will recall more than 1 instance because it was not a life changing event. The life changing events come from coaches that help them reach deep inside themselves to shape their lives, both positive and negative.

Who influenced you when you were playing? I would bet that a former coach influenced you enough to become a coach. Why did I become a ref?, because basketball is the greatest game ever and coaches like you who taught me the lessons in life the basketball can provide. I like that association with the game.

Best of luck the rest of the season.
