The camp supervisor pleaded with me to take the T away, since this is "our ****ing camp." My clinician asked me to do the same, so I did.

Needless to say, I'm not pleased. I paid to be here, too, just like the teams.

I also had a clinician tell me that, in a regular season game, we need to take "as much crap as possible" from coaches because "they have to pay $300 the second they get tossed. That could be a third of their salary."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

This camp is part of the new rating requirement in South Carolina to go to camp once every three years. Not that I really have an issue going to camp, but after this BS I want my money back.

The OhioHSAA only fines coaches $100 for being ejected. I want to officiate in your state, .
