In this sitch, there's absolutely no need for a coach to have a chip on his shoulder before the game even starts.

I do not think you have been reading my posts. This is not about whose state is right or not. I wanted to know who is making them ask those questions. Part of the reason I am asking is because where I live there is not governing body that decides procedures for all levels. I wanted to know if the official's association was requiring that, or some middle school governing body was requiring those questions. Either way I would make some effort to change that procedure and this situation illustrates the possible problem. Whether it was required or not, I am not sure I would ask those questions that way. And I wanted to know if those questions were what are required word for word, or do they require just some type of statement. I think what I am asking is very legitimate. If he is asking how to handle a situation like this, my answer is to complain the body about the nature of those questions. I can see how a coach would answer the way this coach did. Actually I am surprised some kind of similar comment does not happen more often.
Peace
