You know what stood out in your original post? You were hell-bent on writing a letter of complaint about the official and getting him black-balled. However, you gave absolutely no thought at all about writing a similar letter of complaint about an assistant freshman coach who calls officials names and gets thrown out of a game for his unsporting behavior. If you think that the official should be banned from officiating for his behavior, then don't you think also that it might be fair if the coach was fired for his behavior? Or does it only work one way?

As I said, think about it.
