If in your situation the coach didn't like the guy joking the fine but sending an email to tattle on him and admitting that it would be ok if he was older and if he knew him? Cmon!! I hate it bc that just lends assignors (not meaning you here rich) to play good ole boys club and only have the same guys going to same schools all the time. It gets fricking old. Real old.

Where did you get that from? Rich is saying only a very experienced official with some knowledge of the coach could successfully get away with this behavior.

And what's with complaining about "tattling"? The coach has a right to communicate something he is unhappy about.
