The root of the problem
Thirdhand, but from what I consider a reliable source:
Recently, a local coach, unhappy with the results of a game, followed the officials into their locker room to voice his opinion. I don't know the details of the confrontation, but apparently the police ultimately intervened, the coach was led out, at least one account said in handcuffs, and released at his bus carrying a charge of disturbing the peace.
I asked about it at my rec games.
First words out of the mouth of the first account I heard: "Well, first of all, the officiating was horrible....."
On a local message board yesterday, a guy posted that their game was postponed due to the officials walkout. A second poster inquired about the incident: "Heard ya'll took a shalackin by the stripes and it kinda got out of hand. "
His answer: "I wasn't there but from what I heard the officiating was the pits."
Interesting spin. Our coach got arrested because the officiating was bad.
