Thats why I love this forum...you get honest, candid opinions from a wide assortment of officials and coaches. As far as the officals who said they "feel for me" or have "sympathy" for me...DON'T...I eat this stuff up! I love being in games where we officials handle controversies as they arise. Your decisions as an official are not always "black and white". We are human...we make mistakes...I have never called a perfect game, have anyone of you?
I agree with williebfree-- HawksCoach and rpwall were "right on target". Alaska Ref- you are correct- it was a "travesty" but again, the punishment of forfieting the remainder of the season's games would have been, in my opinion, unjust to the students, parents, school administrators and players for the actions of one coach.
UPDATE: The coach was given a two game suspension and the school is on probation for one year.
