Coach, I know you're job is tough. Mine is too. There are only two or three objective people in this gym, and I'm one of them. Addressing me politely will get you a lot further, if you feel the need to try and 'work' me. But don't expect a whole lot of results.
I've been doing this long enough that I trust my own eyes, my own rule knowledge and my ability to properly officiate a game. Will stuff get missed? Hell, yes! Goes with the territory. I'd rather miss something than make something up, which I know sometimes happens. Everyone in the gym has a better view of the play than we do, but we have the guts to be on the court and make the calls as best we can.
Trust me, I know there are some officials out there who are lemons. Word gets around and either those guys wash out or get real limited in what their schedule becomes.
