Zebraman:
I'll pass your comments along to the responder from the coaches forum. I simply acted as a go between between the fine officials here and the caring coaches over at the coaches forum.
Incidently, the Howler Monkey forum can be found at

Click on "Chalk Talk."
I say "caring" coaches because the regulars over there, like myself, don't make a habit of bashing officials. Most are concerned about the development of of thier program and players. I venture to guess that the majority of the regulars are not varsity coaches.
Please stop on by and share your experiences and perspective!
