I had a conversation with a coach once, it went like this.
Me- "you coach, I ref"
Him "But......"
Me - " you coach, I ref"
Him " But you didn't...."
Last time Me- You COACH, I REF"
Him " " Silence, he finally got it.
No problems the rest of the night.
We get rated by the coaches also. I don't think that is fair.
3 years ago, I gave out 20 "T's" 2 years ago 7 Last year 6 and none so far this year. Almost one today, but I passed and it worked out fine ( my partner didn't pass and gave one ) Same game, different situation.
I have the worse coaches rating in my board for a varsity official ( 2.40 , 1.00 would be the perfect but our best is a 1.70) we have classes, I ( the best ) II ( Varsity eligible ) and III. I am a Class I but the coaches kill me.
We have about 50 officials, about 9 are class I's.
