No I have not. I will never say it has not happen, but I do not work with many officials that give a damn what coaches think. At least in my area, the well known or powerful officials could care less of what coaches think. For one, many might be lucky that he sees a particular coach for a few years in many cases. Coaches come and go, they replace coaches every year. Officials stick around much longer. And most officials realize that to some extent.

No, we do not like this individual because he is always coming here and complaining and then questioning the responses. He has a right to post of course, but if you want the answer to a question, do not be surprised if those responses are not to your liking.

In dealing with the public like we do, we get all kinds. This forum has served me well to personally deal with some of the replies that are mostly self serving, often having nothing to do with the original question, and often right on target and have helped me become a better official. So embrace the question, deal with it, reply if you must, and learn from the personality of the person that set it up.

Many of us have embraced the question. But many of us have not seen officials purposely undermine a coach. Now we are human beings and we are capable of holding gruges, but that does not mean it affects the way we call the game. And those that do, do not stick around very long. But if this is not a varsity or above game, then you might get officials that are not capable to let the critisism roll off their backs. But usually in my experience the officials that have achieved the varsity level, are rather capable of making a call and moving on. But that is my experience, I am sure there are experiences outside of what I have been through.
