Smitty, you know the smart-aleck reply to this, don't you? "Coach, if I have to stay here through the rest of this crap, so do you!" I'm not suggesting you say that, but it's something to think about.
Smitty,

One of his comments was along the lines of "Every time we tried to bring the ball down they'd lean on our girls. I was all over the ref about the contact, and the only reason he didn't T me was because he knew I was right." Just thought you'd like to know.... He also told the AD that he had threatened to call the commissioner directly.

FYI, I had these teams at their first game at the beginning of the season. He was a pain in the butt then too, but the game was a little closer and he was actually doing some coaching instead of just complaining.

Guess it goes to prove the adage that coaches don't necessarily make the best officials - and vice versa.....
Yeah, that's why I didn't T him.

I tried to give the guy a break...his team was getting crushed by a far superior team. He didn't choose to see all the calls I passed on in his favor. The dozen or so travel calls I didn't make - on purpose - on his girls. The other team's defenders were not leaning - if anything his guards were initiating the contact. I hope he calls Howard. What a d!ck.
