We've had one varsity IW in the last 6 years. In the end, it was a good learning experience for the guy that had it -- a 5th year LJ who is a damned good official who now knows why we try to only have one whistle on a play and to only blow the whistle if you see a runner down possessing a football.
I pretty much ignored the coach while keeping a smile on my face. I knew it wasn't going to change the way we work the game.
