WCB,
I agree with you as well. Compliments from officials in general, regardless if they work the sport or not, are nice to hear. The only one's I take with a grain of salt are from a player/coach from the WINNING team. Although I certainly don't stick around after the game for pats on the back, it's nice if you pass by the LOSING manager as you're exiting the field and he says "nice job back there". The reality is we are in a thankless advocation and if we judge our performance by the compliments we receive as we leave the field, I would have quit 13 yrs ago
