How did you feel after you responded?
I have had moments that I have been frustrated with a player and/or coach and had VERY evil thoughts, but I will not allow myself to stoop to their level. I feel that I owe it to the "fraternity of officials" to maintain my professional demeanor; even if an opportune time to "get back at them" occurs.
Your conduct represents all officials: before, during and after the game; in other words, ALWAYS. Yes, the rule book states that jurisdiction ends when you leave the visual confines of the court, but the reality is that you are percieved as an official whereever you are; therefore, it is important to conduct yourself in that manner.
Keep your chin up and strive to improve (as we all are)!
PS WAY TO GO CHUCK E!!!!
