League Commish

I'am a league commish and have had issues with this ref before.

I question his call because he has a bad reputation as a poor ref in the ref'ing circles. He causes a lot of issues for making "odd" calls that no one (not even the other ref) can explain.

He called a player for merely leaning over (holding his shorts because he was tired). His foot, arm, body, or other never touched the floor. His feet where planted on the floor.

I understand that refs are trained and what not, but like all humans they make mistakes.

I ask because I'am called in to explain as coaches ask "what was that call". I can 99% of the time explain the rule and what was called. I would say that with this particular ref I can only explain what happened about 50% of the time.

I will order the new case book and rule book when the updated version comes out!
