yelling

I also coach a local grade school league team on the weekends, and as a coach, I have, on occasion, voiced my opinion about certain calls. It has never been about whether a call was wrong or right, but rather a call that has been made from 50 feet away when the other official was right on top of the situation. It is very difficult to hold ones tongue in these situations, especially having a background in officiating. The ref. in question was a board official, and still wears the patch, but has not taken the test for re-certification in a few years. He has been officiating for several years, and doesn't go through an assignor. I am seriously thinking about contacting the board president and letting him know that he is still trying to pass himself off as a member. Hint: It's all about money with this official(supposedly can't afford dues/test/assignor's fee etc...)
