And I WOULD NOT work that game, even if it meant never doing another game in that state again. Good grief, doesn't anyone find this immoral or unethical?!?
The whole reason I started thinking about reffing was because of a tournament game where my daughter's team was cheated out of their fair chance by collusion between a crooked pair of officials and a head coach. I can't imagine even standing by and letting that happen.

Welcome to the BIG TIME rainmaker...oh wait...you probably haven't done a playoff game yet.
Hmmmmmmm, think about it rainmaker...you're not ready (mentally)
Sorry for coming off "Big Time"...but sheesh, relax.
You wouldn't really storm out of the locker room and go get some official would you?
That has got to be the funniest thing I have read all night.
Maybe go so far has to try to "Big Time" the big-timer in front of coaches...but I gotta tell ya...that's not a move that people I know made, working their way up.
This guy has 20+ years...state championship games...are you kidding me? Give it some time before you take on the world.
Be firm...but wait your turn.
Hey...I just made that up...give me another beer.

RookieDude -- I'm saying that if I discover that a game I'm assigned to is going to be called on the basis of agreements between one coach and a ref, I'm not doing it period. I wouldn't have anything to do with it. If that means I never get higher than 6th grade girls again, well, fine. If that's how this state wants to run their tournament, I'm outta there. It is unprofessional and unethical to sit down and agree how a game is going to be called with coaches from only one of the teams. I could not allow my integrity to be compromised in this way. If you don't have a problem with working that way, that's your business, but I have lost a lot of respect for you.

Now you're saying "if that's how this state wants to run their tournament, I'm outta there."
You just jumped from an isolated incident...to the whole damn "state".
Again, take a deep breath...relax.
It's no great news that there are big A$$ holes out there in referee land. Remember the sysem we work in. One man's *** is another man's friend. Argggggggg...
...Bartender...tab please!!!

I'm a little baffled by your hostility. What in the world has you so upset?
