I surely wasn't going to ask the ref that whacked me during or after the game. So, I came here.

While you're relatively new here, I'm sure the rest of us recognized that what Dan posted was done so with his tongue planted fir,m;y in his cheek. You took offense where no offense was intended.

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!

We can only base our perception of you on what you post here. based on the original post, yes, you sounded antagonistic.
BTW, what the other coach thought, really doesn't carry much weight. His is just an opinion, and we can't become overly enthralled in whther he was right or not. For example, if a coach comes up to me after a game and says "Good game," I pretty much take that with a grain of salt. Why? Because if I take his comment to heart, then I must also be willing to listen when he walks up after a game and says, "You really sucked tonight." So you see, what any coach has to say about a call or a game, really has no bearing on an official, anymore than if I walked up to you after a game and said, "You really blew that game, coach."
