Really appreciate the feedback. My partner told the coach that he has been working with me for a long time and he would never say or do anything like that. When my partner told me what he had said I was upset and the situation needed dealt with. I take a lot of pride in knowing I am out there for the athletes and not the coaches. This did not affect how I officiate the game. But the coach did need to be called out on this and did need to know where he stood at this point. After our last conversation we did not have another problem with the coach. He was cordial and just coached his kids. Coaches are going to push as far as they can go until you do something about it. We have the pleasure of working with a lot of great coaches around our area. They coach, will ask questions when needed, and most of all are respectful to everyone. Every once in a while you have to deal with the other side.
