From what you tell me Ernie probably made some "bad" calls against the other team too. Yet, you don't mention that. I hate to say this but it sounds like a parent who is upset that her daughter's team lost. I hope you didnt get on Ernie's case during the game.
I never said which team team those two particular calls went against--and you were only half right. One example was against my team, the other for.
I will not argue judgement calls with an official for two reasons--after 12 years officiating, I know it does no good to argue judgement calls; and I know that as soon as I put on my coaching hat that my judgment is impaired.
However, my knowledge of officiating mechanics is not impaired. "Ernie" cannot physically keep up with the game anymore. It's time to hang it up.
