No matter how right we may be, as officials, there is a higher level of expectation for us. Act professionally at all times.

Yes you are, but this is a perfect example of how tone and mood cannot be interpreted by those reading someone else's words.

And who says W&S is not relaxed? All he did was type a response.

....should be the banner phrase of every forum I have ever seen or been on, hopefully most realize that.

But I do find it comical in this situation that this coach felt it necessary to point out what she felt was a mistake by the crew, when the root cause of the problem was her own players.

I thought it was more funny that I couldn't determine anything by the angle she sent in.
