I agree with you except that there are a few times when there is a kid with a lousy attitude, probably with parents with lousy attitudes, but a coach who's trying to work on it. I've seen a few of these coaches who are really remarkable, and they get my highest respect. These are also the coaches that when they say something negative about me or another ref, I listen, because i think they see the bigger picture.
