I call it an
unsporting techincal foul. I don't take it personally.

Well, if you think that it's perfectly OK for a coach to deliberately disparage an official like that, and that's acceptable behavior on the coach's part also, then I think that you should take up coaching too, News.

Why, because I don't agree with you? When did I said it was ok? I have said multiple times, I call the
T and move on. Because I don't take great personal offense to it means I should be a coach instead of an official?

Are we officials or are we teachers? Coaches have bosses--AD's, principals, school board. If a coach is that terrible they'll eventually answer to the appropriate powers that be. Don't these kids have parents and guardians who should be concerned with the behavior of their coach? If that is an official's major concern then maybe the official should turn to coaching.
