Drake, I thought the exact same thing as theboys when I read that part of your post. That statement does come off with a bit of arrogance. But I might have said the same thing. And yep, I've been accused of it too. Imagine that!
As the others have said, it may be something you're not even conscious of. I'm sure you're an official who keeps control of the game. Oddly enough, some people view that as arrogance. Most times, these people are just looking for something to complain about. 2 or 3 get together and suddenly, there are several complaints.
Just make a mental note the next time you work these games and remember the mentality of the people you're dealing with. I've found that a handshake and introduction before the game goes a long way towards eliminating this type of thing.
