I'm sure he thinks that he is Mr. Wonderful and therefore his kid must be fantastic too. By knocking the playing ability of his kid, I was taking a shot at him. He needed to be brought back down to earth, and reminded why we are here--to have a little fun. None of us in that gym were going to the NBA.
I find it strange that parents expect top level officiating for games between 5th graders.
Afterall, I said it to the parent group out of earshot of the kids!

Sorry N-Ref, but nobody's buying it. You wrote, "Yeah, I know, that's why they put me on the game with
the two worst teams." Your remark indicated your opinion was that these two teams are terrible.
NEVER make a remark to fans, players or coaches about how bad the teams are in a game you're working. Such remarks are was uncalled for and lowered us to a level below the parent. When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
