Me neither.
To smugly imply that the vast majority of your local officials are so incompetent that you're
"forced" to carry a rule book with you to
"assist them" is simply beyond belief imo. And then to have one of our own supposed officiating brothers agree with that nonsense?
There's nothing the matter with discussing a missed or blown call. That's happened to every official in the world, including every single poster on this forum, whether they want to admit it or not. You can also discuss what to do as a coach if you do happen to run into the occasional official who isn't very rules-knowledgeable. That happens also. However, when you indict complete officiating groups as being basically incompetent, and then try to justify that with a single incident involving a single official, well, you've entered the Twilight Zone imo.
I've never seen the North Cali officiating groups that he's talking about, but I really can't see them as really being measurably better or worse on the average than any other of the groups across the country. Some individual officials? Yes. Over-all? No.
End of rant.
