It's a good thing for you that Jurassic Referee isn't around anymore. Some of his "criticisms" would have you curled up in a fetal position, crying, on the floor.

Phew!

Trust me, I'm working on that. My blood pressure used to rise whenever a coach questioned one of my calls, or got even a little argumentative. I've finally learned to keep calm when that happens.

It's one of the reasons I don't post here nearly as often as I used to. I mean, one, I'm not as knowledgeable as some of you, so I kind of stay out of the way. Secondly, there tends to be something in my posts that's not 100% correct, leading to a handful of people jumping all over it and taking the conversation away from the point.

While I know I'm not one of the best officials (I'm only in my 9th year), I think I'm pretty good at it. You know the saying... "you're not as good as you think, but not as bad as some others say you are."
