I'm new to this board and to this particular thread. I've carefully read through all three (3) pages of correspondence on this subject. If you'll allow my observations.

First, why is there so much discussion about coaches who have attacked a referee. It's a no-brainer, get rid of them permanently. I'm from the northern suburbs and I've seen this video a ton of times....it's grotesque.

Secondly, who is this snyping, irritating "telegrahams"? Apparently his name is Rich Graham? Why is he making personal attacks against individuals instead of sticking with the topic at hand, attacking referees? I see he has mentioned a "Hugg" guy a few times. Does this person even exist or is he a figment of Grahams imagination? Is he fighting his own shadow? And if this hugg guy exists it appears he has to much class and to many other things to do then to respond to this idiot. I haven't seen any post from this Hugg guy. What kind of coward attacks someone when they aren't even around? Graham, if you have a personal axe to grind with this Hugg guy take it off this board and approach him directly, in person, one on one, man to man. Kapish? And why haven't you addressed the poignant points An Old Ref brought up? Are you some kind of lap dog for this league? Answer those questions about your past coaching in that organization, you brother coaching with them now and all the other points An Old Ref brought up.

Thirdly, I emphatically agree that all referees must stick together and rally in the face of this crisis.

Finally, that Garbs guy is right...Graham is an idiot.

Just my obeservations.
