I haven't been around long enough to even qualify for the tourney, so your assumption there was just as wrong. Your implication that my opinion is sour grapes because I suck at this is a mighty big assumption since you have no clue about who I am. I don't know MTD either, but while he may not use the same extreme words I did to make a point, he probably doesn't like it either. For the record, assignments are based primarily on votes from our associations (political); Athletic directors (since I friends with a couple, I know how uninformed they are about the officials and their performance)(also political) and the coaches who see us work. (very political). I know quite a few officials who let coaches get away with murder because they don't want it to affect their assignments. That wouldn't make you uncomfortable? In my mind, the only people who should be involved are assignors. But I've only been around for 6 years and don't do enough Varsity games yet to qualify.

BECAUSE I CALLED HIM WHEN THE SECOND SITUATION OCCURRED AND ASKED HIM ABOUT IT SPECIFICALLY.(He was, at the time, also one of my assignors) (Thanks for playing)

The funny part was when he said that any official that would do that was being "overly officious".

Exactly. There is no signifigance to my liability based on who is coaching. If I am liable for something that happens, its more likely I will win the multi state lottery than who the HC is affecting the situation.

BTW say hello to Germaine for the rest of us when you see him.

That was your implication. When it happened later that year with the coach in question, there was no new contract. They just said to the Assisstant Coach, you finish the season as HC. He didn't sign a new contract. He didn't get a raise. So therefore, by YOUR logic, if something happened (for the life of me, I could'nt even begin to imagine what it would be---hence the red fish) by your reasoning, I would be liable. Your logic is flawed. OR as seems to be the case, based on many of your posts, you're one of those overly officious referees who can't react to anything that isn't literally in the book. You probably yell at cheerleaders when they come on the floor during 30 second timeouts.

Your arrogant put down of a spelling error I made in a previous thread says a lot more about what an *** you are than how stupid I am.
