I'm not sure how, but I seemed to have been forwarded to
http://www.teaching.com while reading this thread....is it possible to get back to

Thanks!
I have to strongly disagree w/ 2 comments made previously on this thread: "when in doubt, throw them out" and "the varsity coaches watch the prelim. game to see how much they can get away with in the varsity game". Those viewpoints could not possibily be more wrong - in my opinion.
The GREAT officials exercise excellent judgement and outstanding game management. When the situation calls for it, you penalize and eject. But not every situation is the same and should not be handled the same. Yes, rules are rules - but the interpretation and application of the rules seperate the poor from the average, average from good, good from great, and great from outstanding.
Just my two cents worth.
