I think it's safe to say that Rosen's comments are not only biased but pretty much over the top. But anyone who has officiated for any period of time has worked with, met or knows of officials that "fit the profile". The fatal flaw in the artical is the premise that all officials fall into this stereotype. There are guys I won't ever work with again because they belive it unimaginable that they could make a mistake and that coaches should always be seen at best as insignificant and at worst incompetant advisaries. It's been my experience that the vast majority of officials study hard, work hard and want to do the best job they possibly can. I've always said everyone that coaches should have to officiate and everyone that officiates should have to coach-it does give you a completly different perspective.
