And those statements sum up quite well the frustration felt by FED and NCAA rulesmakers when some officials refuse to follow very explicit POE's and Officiating Guidelines on how the game should be officiated. There's all kinds of rules extant that I don't like or agree with either. That doesn't mean that I can ignore those rules and make up my own rules to call.
