I don't take parental comments as a critique of my officiating, I'm probably my toughest critic as I think about situations on the way home and then spend a half hour that same evening with a glass of single malt and the book and review whatever I feel unsure or deficient about. This board has an impressive database of issues and suggestions as well. And, a fair amount of humor. For that matter I worked with the league assignor the other day and I was being tougher on myself than he thought I should have been. He was actually very complimentary.
My point is that there are some parents and coaches illustrating behavior that's more appropriate than the alternative we so often see.
