Zebraman describes in the original post bringing out a JV official at halftime, and having both coaches on his case within two minutes. You want to tell me that there is no possibility that they had a point, and the guy was making inconsistent calls with what they are used to seeing? Especially if there were no problems with either of these coaches in the first half?

How do
you know that he's not ready to work that level?
Zebraman thought it was a good idea and he wanted him there, and Z was the guy on the spot.
Are you a coach or an official? You sure seem to have the mindset of a coach. I hate to break it to you, but some coaches will go after any new face to see if they can get an edge. No, seriously, they will. It's true, it's true.....
