I never said it was okay for the coach to do any of the things you mentioned. But apparently, outside of the official's statements, there is not enough to PROVE the allegation. We all know when we put on the stripes that we are going to be targets of abuse, rightly or wrongly. We hope and pray it never rises to the level of physical abuse but we all know, in the back of our minds, that possibility is there.
You want to slam me for not blindly running to join in the support of a boycott because I am also an official. How biased is that???? Should all the coaches blindly accept what the coaches say? So far, the only versions we have is yours and the newspapers. If you want me nopt to comment on things "I know nothing of", then don't post here. Keep it to yourself or to someplace where just you in that area can deal with it.
I don't know what you do in real life so maybe you are used to things being black and white. I deal in grays and it seems to the outside "uninformed" observer, there is plenty of gray here. And even if everything the official says is 100% true, it still does not rise to the level to warrant the action that the refs in that area have taken.
