Mabey you should read the other thread written about officials with an attitude, because your certainly a candidate for that award.
It is one thing to have a big EGO, know the rules and know when to apply them during the contest. It is totally another thing to go on the field or ice with this "Holier-Than-Thou, Everybody-Come-Watch-Me-Officiate attitude.
"It's obvious he's a worthless coach or he'd instill a sense of respect for the game in his players."
You, have a personal problem.[/B]

Wow! You must have seen me officiate! (End sarcasm here.)
You describe me in a manner that is so inconsistent with my personality that you must be on the other side of the world. Read the whole thing and then interject a bit of worldly realism. Any umpire or hockey ref who goes out to officiate and gets a big head and starts tossing guys left and right for unsportsmanlike behavior is not going to last long. It's rare that I have to do anything like that, but I'm not averse to it. Hell, I've been known to chew out my fellow teammates for their stupid actions on the ice in regards to unsportsmanlike behavior.
I became an official because I enjoy the games that I work. I like to see them played fairly and with respect for ALL participants. Once again: I will not tolerate unsportsmanlike behavior. Pardon me if I make it clear that I will take action against those children (and adults) who, once very 100 games, warrant that they return to the dressing room and take the rest of the night (or day) off.
I didn't come here to get told about the splinter in my eye by some guy who just about took my head off with his log. Now go home and keep your personal comments to yourself.
