Sounds like a pretty good definiton to me! Or maybe this is a better way to put it: "A game interrupter is any call made by a partner that I don't think was a good call." Had that one thrown at me a few times.
As far as the article goes - it's more whining by someone who sits in the stands and has absolutely no idea what we as officials are attempting to do and accoomplish during a game. But the mere fact that they sit there and watch a bunch of games from the stands gives them the knowledge and credibility needed to criticize the job we do. The mere fact that he supposedly found some coaches who agreed with him lends tremendous validity in his mind. Not worth the paper it was written on - imho.
