Yes.. I absolutely would and do say this stuff to official who have been doing this for 40+ years.. and you know what??.. they dont have a problem with it.
Is there some kind of right of attrition to make a point??
I think that many of us.. new and old still have the same problem. Overcomplication. Its just an opinion.
Sorry to have disturbed some kind of unwritten rule that a new official cant have a take on something.

Mike, Tom is one of our resident curmudgeons. He's a very good ref, good on rules but tends to get a little grouchy. He'll rattle his saber a little, but he's also good at encouraging new refs, and refs who need to develop. You can learn a lot from him,even his crusty outbursts.
