HawksCoach- youre right about one thing (not which perspective I view things from)- I should have pointed out the plane and handed the ball without asking him if he understood. I admitted that in the original post. "Turn the page coach." Sometimes as officials, we are in a situation to talk to players. And coaches should encourage players to be respectful in those situations. Period. I chose to do nothing and get the ball in play. If you want to get worked up as a coach and see this as the referees problem then, as previously stated, youre part of the problem and not the solution. If the kid was so worked up internally that he bit his lip to keep from being inappropriate- then good for him.
You were in the military right? Imagine if your supervisor asked you a direct question. You just stare at him with your jaw clenched and dont answer because you didnt like that he asked you if you knew something that you did know. He repeats it and you pull the same silent reply. If he is irked, its probably his failure to see things from
your perspective.

I am simply saying that refs shouldn't be looking to T a player for having an attitude they don't like when they make a call.

I didnt T him and wouldnt. Where are you getting this
looking business? If I were looking for a T, believe me, he would have had it.
