Thumbs down Oooouch.

Don't ask the coaches how to call the game!

Let me ask you this, what would you do if one coach says "Yeah, lighten up." and the other says "What? No way; you're letting them get away with murder out there." Now what do you do?

Any change, which there will obviously be because you are in a different half, different situations, differnt energy level.... There will be changes in what gets called due tho these game changes but now you will look like you are preferring one coach or the other.

You set yourself up with a question like that.

Honestly, I have considered asking coaches their opinion in private, AFTER the game... days after. But haven't done it.

Has anyone discussed their officiating style with a coach - one-on-one, away from the game? What were your results? Good experience? Improved your game? Compassion for coaches position? Bad experience?
