Mark: I agree that good refs such as yourself and others that are experienced are good at making perfectly unbiased calls. However, after playing in hundreds of officiated games (middle school and HS) and working well over 100 games myself, I often see this occur. I'm not trying to knock all officials, but in general, arguing hurts your chances at getting breaks. I am young so my view may be off, but I think what happens is a subconscious mechanism. No official I know would do it on purpose (as you state). This is just my opinion, so you can relax man.
