I was attacked by almost every official in this forum--got no respect. These guys are strickly (it is strictly BTW) by the rule book with very little "passion or feel for the game". You and I being youth officials understand how important it is to combine some game sense with your rule knowledge
I think that's where the rest of us have a problem with you, Derock. Contrary to what you think, we have game sense and know the rules. You think you have game sense. I have and still officiate yutes. If a kid needs to sit, I'll tell the coach that he needs to cool down and the coach will handle it. I don't make a big production of it, just a quiet word, no sense embarrassing the kid. I enlist his teammates to help as well. I've never sent a kid off for anything other than blood or equipment and my youth games run pretty smoothly.
