There's a local conference I do not work (that I would like to work) and it's because I gave an USC flag (in football) to the league's prima donna head coach -- and his athletic director was and is too much of a puppet to do what's right. My only regret is that I didn't eject the coach, cause he sure had it coming. But I didn't avoid it because of ratings or a desire to work the conference, I was just stunned that someone could act so badly on a field and I missed my opportunity to send the right message.

BTW, this coach has rated me every year since then even though he has never seen me work since, which is against policy. Again, the athletic director made excuses for him rather than take care of the problem.

So just take care of business and work the other schools.

I'm probably a little tired due to the end of season and whatnot but that is really disappointing to me that people like the coach get away with crap like that. Talk about small and petty.

The whole friggin world seems to be running out of people who do the right thing.

I'll have to find a website of "doing the right thing" people to restore my faith in humanity.
