Hmmmmmmmm........
You come on an officials board and gripe about officiating? Did you expect that we would bow down to you because you have coached for 20 years......
I have learned not to expect much from officials.
You lived up to that. If you go back and read my initial post, all that I asked was that the officials stop claiming to be superhuman and simply admit to mortal mistakes like the rest of us. Seems simple enough. Evidently you missed it. In addition, in my initial post, I stated I have played, coached and officiated for 50 years.... GRIN
Your derogatory remark above about 20 years of coaching is again evidence that you missed it. I sincerely doubt that "most of the people here..." have been at it for much longer than 50 years.
Well........for the record......most of the people here have played, coached, umpired for much longer than that............grin
I along with most guys/gals who post here will admit to booting a call.........
I applaud that. As I said, in 50 years, I heard it only once.
Your response is typical of the arrogance I have experienced from officials for 50 years, namely the outright refusal to admit that, like the rest of us mortals.
We are all mortals..........I make boo boo's.......and always will........but not too often........and I bet that I make less mistakes than you or your team.........for example:
Did your team execute a perfect:....hit and run/bunt/sac/stolen base/squeeze play/....etc. etc.
So you see.......no one is perfect.......
don't criticize us..............grin
Why not? You don't hesitate to criticize those of us
who VOLUNTEER OUR TIME.... grin
Joel, I wish you nothing but the best. Any official willing to admit they make mistakes, I take my hat off to.
Hope to run into you on the field sometime.
Best Regards,
Bob
