I work alot of summer league games with a bulley official. It's not a style that I like or mimic, but we haven't had an altercation yet.
If it works for you.....fine.

Just wondering why the need to "bully" at all and stir the pot risking provocation; why not just whack the actors using the tools of the trade? I will never endorse the "bully" mentality as I have seen it erupt even in the most mundane situations. Perhaps this type of guy is relagated to working rec ball and the myth of rec ball being inferior will continue partly due to this type of official's unprofessional demeanor.
