Tony,

Now I agree with that. There were too many players running their mouths on too many plays. It seemed like the officials did nothing. I would not allow that kind of actions to just go on.

I should also clarify in my comments about what Mark said.

If a player just did that one time, I might not even care. But if a player had been running his mouth the entire game, I probably would have a word with the player. These are also adults and that changes the type of behavior I would tolerate and how I would deal with them. I would tolerate much less from HS and even college players.

I have to agree with you Tony on this as well. The officiating that I have seen was suspect. I really do not understand the philosophy of dealing with players and even calling the game. I have seen a better job from Varsity HS officials. These guys looked many times like they were newer or guys that have not moved up. I did not understand the logic behind some calls or get a feel for what they were calling. But I did not watch every game or every minute of most games. I was not impressed at all.


Peace
