Why...... do these coaches feel soooo entitled to berait officials who are not varsity refs, and furthermore... Why is it not MANDITORY to have an officials room for ALL levels??
The response that worked best for me, interupt with "I'm not interested.", I then would turn and walk away before they finished speaking. I would usually go find someone else to talk to so as to make him/her press the issue.
I can't remember it ever not working.
