I've been calling state playoffs since I was 21 - 4 state championship games. You don't get to that level being a "weak official."

It all comes down to the fact that a freshman (little league) coach hollering to the crowd simply doesn't affect me.

Now if a varsity coach did that - different, but as we have noted, a varsity coach simply ain't gonna play that game.

The reason I keep beating the dead horse is because there are many officials who read this forum and I don't want them to think that the only way to control the game is by ejecting coaches.

I've made my case, and i'm out on this one!

Thanks

David,

I know that you're a strong official, but this is automatic. I have no tolerance at lower levels. Of course, I haven't worked a subvarsity game in about 5 years, so I guess my feeling here is purely academic.
