Coaches are paronoid because they want to win, yet they can't control everything that happens, whether it be their players actions or the officials. So...it's easier to look at the officials as the cause of the losses.
We had one coach at half-time imply that we were racist. Yikes, his team was the most disorganized and poorly coached. His team got a bunch of encroachment penalties because they couldn't even line up correctly. Sad, because his players were great kids. They got blown out but still, after the game, some of the players wanted to shake our hands. One of the players during the game said to us, "We don't have any coaches." If they did, they'd have been a competitive team. I applaud the kids for having a good attitude and having fun out there.
