He starts by saying he has never seen such a poorly officiated game, especially me. He then proceeds to tell me that he is a graduate of the Home school, that won, but was obviously there rooting for the visiting.

My question for everyone is when you are doing the prelim game do you stick around and watch the Varsity game? If you do where do you sit to watch the game.

I was dumbfounded that someone would have the guts to come up to me and say that, that I didn't reply to him.

What would you have said in that situation if it occurred to you? One suggestion from one of the varsity officials was to get his name and offer to sign him up to officiate if he didn't like the way I did it.

Thanks.
You said exactly what you should have said to him...nothing. I am a little surprised that the administrator did what he did. I'd go back to that place again anytime to officiate. Good job!
