1. If it's personal, don't tolerate it at that level. The more you take, the more they'll give.
2. If I know a guy is a ref, he gets a shorter rope due to a higher standard to which I hold fellow officials.
3. If he has taken the opportunity to tell me he's an official (as opposed to me just knowing for various reasons), the rope gets even shorter. If he so much as looks at me sidewise while talking to me, T.
4. I'm convinced that most rec leagues need more Ts handed out, not less.
5. As BktBallRef stated, it doesn't matter if I screwed a call or not; players and coaches don't get to address me like that.
6. Completely separate issue, but you said it was a late call and then that you had screwed the call. Was it a correct call, or was it late and wrong?
