i dont care about the officials getting calls wrong or missing something -- in fact most of my time im trying to make adjustments to my kids --
not once, even in horribly officiated games, have i ever blamed a loss on the refs == the kids know and its a lesson i teach that if we thought the officiating sucked so did the other team so it evens itself out
i have NO hostility towards freshmen refs -- if you read my posts you would see that what annoys me is the lack of officials willing to answer simple questions about rules or close calls i just would like a small explanation (this maybe happens once or twice in a game) -- its not fair for me to put in my 100% expect the same out of my kids and the refs dont seem to be doing the same.
one a similar note -- as an official if i have 2 kids and a coach ask me about XYZ player holding of elbowing and the complaint seems to be legit i will always try and pay a little more attention next time a similar play happens -- if XYZ is doing that and you have been missing it then as an official you need to get on it -- its not that a player or coach is telling you how to do your job its just that we cannot see everything.
to any official who took what i had as an attack on all officials i appologize -- all i said was that at the freshman level (for the most part) you get the lowest level refs/new guys. Its just normal and thats how it works in our association.
as a coach what would you say if your player jumps from the frontcourt and has one foot land in the back court then catches the pass (which originated from the backcourt) and then his other foor hit the front court -- the other coach yells backcourt violation -- The REF stopped the game to explain the backcourt rule -- then we had to inbound which was stolen and i tell the ref that was way out of line what he did and it cost us 2 points and all he could say was "coach its my job that you guys know whats going on" -- yet i ask him a question about a push and he t's me up -- as a coach and as an official what would you say to that?
