I've worked with many a grizzled veteran in my time. In all my years I've never had one act toward me in a condesending manner, yes they talk to Coache's and Ad's a little too much but it's never been about the game that we're working and they never give scouting reports usually it's small talk. Yes they sometimes get lazy in terms of mechanics, perhaps not switching for example but generally it's stuff that only other officials would notice. I've never had one carry on with a Coach like that in a locker room. If this occurred during a State Tournament I would not do the game. I agree with Rainmaker on this.
