I have officiated and was starting to have some success. I understand the officials point of view, believe me. When I first started, a lot of older guys told me not to "put up with crap" from coaches. I had a lot harder time when I had this attitude. When I would allow a coach to say his piece, and then move on, the game would flow a lot smoother. It seems to me that some officials feel like a coach has absolutely no right to even speak to an official. In the situation I was talking about, the official gave the stop sign immediately. How could he have had enough (which is what the stop sign means, correct?) when the game just started. I'm not saying he was right or wrong. If he wanted to set this tone for the game then he was right. I was just saying there may have been a different way to handle the situation.
