Hey Guys,
I got a question for you, i live in a small town with 6 highschools which means alot of us refs do alot of games for the same schools and coaches, we get to know eachother real well. There seems to be a problem with coaches complaining about refs which should be no surprise right. But in this case as a former coach and current rookie ref i would like to help bridge the gap between coaches and refs. What are some suggestions on getting every one on the same page or at least trying to. I have heard of having a pre season meeting to go over rules and expectations or answer any questions about rules. Also how about the coaches rating the officials throughout the year and get the highest rated refs to officiate the finals. Any other suggestions or help would be great.
Not to mention that alot of these refs are not improving themselves by way of camps in the summer. I will be the first ref in the board to go to a camp within the last 10 years. That is scary!! I want to improve in order to be as best as i can when i get into those tough games with the challenging coaches etc.
So who do you blame? What do you do?? Any help??
Thanks
V
