Another fact, this is a people business. This is not an individual, I don't care what nobody thinks business. The minute you walk into a game and you don't care about what a coach thinks, you are done moving up.

I don't referee for approval but in order to get put on a game, much less a game that I would really like to work. Somebody has to approve me. That approval might just come from my ability to communicate.
Again, you don't have a clue either as to what I've been saying. That's completely to be expected. Officials will understand it though.

There's a big difference between getting along with a coach and sucking around a coach. You don't seem to understand that. That's not surprising.
