Why on earth would any officials group work for a league like the one in discussion?
It is not blind loyalty to the officiating cause. Its open-eyed and enlightened.
A league that has not adopted rules about coaching behavior in 42 years does not care what a coach does.
A league that vindicates a coach for being out of control whether there was an assault or not.
A league that does not suspend for an ejection of a coach.
Sounds like to me there isnt much on site security either.
Even if the officials did not boyott with all the stuff Ive seen, I would find another league to work.
In a lot of places, including where I am from, the behavior in not tolerated at all. We have an official on the league board, and know we need to work together. The board in question does not look like they have figured it out.
Glad I'm not them dealing with all the liability issues...
particularly using untrained officials who dont know the rules (post boycott). Just wait until a kid gets hurt (because a coach or dad is out there without a clue) oh well not my organization.
