But why is it alright for we officials to judge whether or not someone is a good coach but coaches get lit up in this forum if they criticize or pass judgement on a referee?

I get it.

You think that we should give coaches the benefit of the doubt.

But, as per the Kentucky thread, you don't think that we should give a fellow official the benefit of the doubt.

If the shoe fits, wear it.....indeed.
No, I'm saying "how are we qualified to judge the abililties of a coach?" That has nothing to do with benefit of the doubt. This forum takes a very harsh tone with coaches who criticize officials, yet everyday I read sermons in here from officials to coaches on what is or isn't good coaching.

As for the KY situation, I did give the benefit of the doubt to an official, the one named Montgomery. As I said previously, Bailey starts out in the negative side of the ledger for being in the locker room when he should not have been.
