Jim, contrary to popular belief, just because you object to a call or two or "yell at us" we do not all nor should any of us hold a grudge for the next time we see you. If you are a gentleman and treat us with the same respect we give you, your occasional tantrum will be forgotten very quickly. We realize that we make mistakes and/or don't see everything that happens on a football field. I have found most officials have a "I can see where they are coming from attitude" in most cases, often admitting that they too would have been very upset where they in the coach's shoes. I know tomorrow night I have a coach on the road that I had at home last week and he gave me a royal a** chewing last week but it didn't upset me at the time and it didn't upset me after the game and other than to laugh about it it is forgotten. Btw, the reason it didn't upset me was I knew it was probably somewhat deserved. I was standing a couple of feet from two players near the end of a blowout (he was winning), talking to them to "help each other up" and somehow missed an alleged unsportsmanlike act. I just didn't see it and couldn't call anything therefore, even though I was fairly confident that it had happened. So of course, he went ballistic and I let him vent for a few seconds, until the assistant flew off and then I put a quick halt to the nonsense.
