Referees and coaches

[Rita C]

Last night we held our annual banquet. This isn't just for the referees and their spouses. We invite the coaches whose teams went to state, the coaches whose teams won our sportsmanship award (we submit ratings on the games throughout the season), and various others we honor, such as the AD who is retiring after 44 years.

In our area we don't have many of the problems we hear about in the big cities. We seem to have a relationship that I liken to the relationship in the old Warner Bros. cartoon with the sheep and the wolf.

Do any others of you have successful programs toward building good sportsmanship?
