This is the same case in how people on this board can criticize me for my post and how parents can criticize me for any call I make during the game. This is the way things have been for officials since the beginning of time, in our society the official is not overally respected and I feel a big part of that is because the discipline of officials is not known to the general public. I know I hear one of the biggest complaints and it is a complaint I have is no one knows when an official is disciplined for making mistakes. It's obvious if a coach or player is disciplined but an official no one ever knows and eventhough most officials feel they are better than the players and coaches they are not. When they do a poor job they should be disciplined for making mistakes, until the public is aware this is happening the treatment of officials by fans will continue. Sorry for my rant but I look forward to your criticism.

Idiots in the stands wouldn't know a good call if it bit them in the backsides. Today I worked a bunch of kids games (which I don't do often) and heard the entire range of stupidity. Shouts of TRAVEL when no player has possession, shouts of CARRY on high dribbles when no hand came to rest under the ball, shouts of THREE SECONDS when the ball is bouncing around the rim.
There is nothing 99.999999999999% of the coaches and fans could ever teach me about officiating a game except the fact that they couldn't do it well although they think they can. The exceptions are either officials themselves or some of the good coaches that have been coming around here.
Hint: Not you.
