BktBallRef - I totally understand that and already knew that younger teams get less experienced refs. That's one reason why I envoked the team rule to never complain about the offiating. I don't let the girls come to me with complaints. I broke MY rule ONCE in two years and I got whacked. It surprised me.
What I took exception to was Dan's comment: "So maybe the refs are inconsistent, so what." Then he said "'cause maybe one day I (or someone like me) will get roped into working one of your games and you will not last 2 minutes."
I took exception to Dan's ASSUMPTION that he knows my personallity and my coaching style when in fact, he doesn't. He assumed that I act like Bobby Knight because I got one T. He certainly wasn't there. I generally don't complain about calls. I'm certainly not antagonistic. I got a T and wanted to know why. I surely wasn't going to ask the ref that whacked me during or after the game. So, I came here.
Now I'm surprised at the number of refs here that assume that any coach that gets whacked must have been antagonistic. I only had 1 request for the ref during the entire game; I only questioned that 1 call during the game with either ref; the other coach was also surprised by the quick T; I've already said that I've learned from this won't do it again; but now I'm the antagonistic coach that won't lay off of the refs!
