That should have tipped you off that you may have a problem.

I agree, but what should I have done? I'm hardly qualified to administer a field sobriety test. To my eyes, he seemed sober. The coaches' comments may have sprung from disagreeing with one of his calls. Suppose he in fact had a beer or two before the games. Is this enough to take action? If so what action?
I would have took the official aside and in a diplomatic fashion asked him if he was drinking. If he said no play on. If he said yes I wouldn't allow him to officiate. Being a college Ref. he should know better. If he was embarassed, well that's his problem. Just my opinion.
