Ah, yes....perception!!
You are right that it is about perception, but is it a fair case of perception? And as officials do we really need to feed into that "perception."

Remember the general public thinks we are all corrupt or play favorites and all this situation did was "confirm" that for many people. I just think we need to be careful to make insinuations based on very innocent activity.

I know officials that work HS games that cannot get off the phone before, during halftime or after games to call just about everyone they know.
