I also had a weird season, good but wierd. Seemed like coaches were much worse on the sportsmanship this year. Most years I usually have about 3 or 4 T's and half would be administrative. This year I doubled that and the partners I worked games with had as many also. Had one coach offer me his glasses (easiest) who in a later game my partner T'd in the first 3 minutes of the game.
Last game of the year was Saturday for me and I had to warn both coaches in the 1st half that I had enough of the chirping. I was working with a newer official who was doing a good job, but coaches were trying hard to work us.
Both seemed to think that yelling at us was a way to protect his kids or to help us out. The game went much better when they had to "coach". At least they listened and I got to end the year without a T.
