I asked him ( OK I told him ) to take a seat.

It was a good game over all. 9 points in the end. 7 "T"s for the regular season...amazing consistency. I did about 60 high school games. I have not called a "T" in the chuch league that I do and I have done about 20 church league games.

I am getting at least 1 play off game...it would be nice to get 2. I will be an alternate at 1 or more games.

Coaches will complain, its their job on the line.

However, what separates the good coach is that they know "how" to complain.

A good coach will ask you about a situation, or say to watch a particular play, but they will not ever get personal with it.

Once the coach makes it personal then he's on the way out.

But just to write about coaches complaining about calls it crazy, that's what they are paid to do.

But never allow a coach to complain about you!

Once he starts using the "you" word then he's asking to get a T and then an exit.

Once the coaches know that, its amazing how the complaining quits being personal.

Of course some coaches will never learn because we have too many officials that allow them to cross the line night after night, game after game.

That's what makes it so hard for everyone else.
