What I said, and I quote myself, "Being an a-hole on the court is often necessary because what we do isn't always popular." You might like to call it an a-hole, jerk, prick or anything else, but can you say this statement isn't true?

With the caveat that one should never say never, I'll say that an official should never be an a-hole on the court. An official should be firm, decisive, strong, willing to make the unpopular, but right decision.... but should still be professional (which I guess Roger's would have as an antonym of a-hole).
