Tony, Come backs to coaches only make us feel better as refs, but don't solve any problems. If anything they exacerbate (make worse, for those wondering) the problem. I should know because I'm a smart a-- by nature. My mouth got me into more trouble early in my career than any call I ever made! If you have the desire to move to a high level of officiating and more importantly want to stay there here is the best advice I ever recieved. "All questions are answered and all comments are ignored." These words of wisdom came from a man who should know he's worked a couple final fours. If anything we need to be more professional than the coaches, God knows that should not be to hard. Best of luck Tony.
