Officials should also be advocates for
their team, their fellow officials. Unfortunately(in my opinion, very unfortunately), some officials aren't. They'll use the same rationalization that Judtech used..... that the official invited that kind of trouble by not knowing the rules.
As I said, imo there's no excuse for behavior like Judtech's, no matter how incompetent the officials were in his game. I don't remember reading anywhere that the officials were incompetent to HIS team ONLY. There's a right way and a wrong way for coaches to deal with what they think are incompetent officials. Judtech opted to take the way that not only publically demeaned the officials but gave his team an admitted unfair advantage. And he was the assistant coach, not the head coach. That's telling to me.
