Not a good look for all concerned (officials, coaches, players, fans, assigner, local association).

We should try to keep the bickering in the locker room (if there absolutely must be bickering).



Note: My local association did once have an actual fist fight break out at our end of the year banquet. Combatants had to be physically restrained. And yes, there was an open bar for the entire night.

Never said I was bickering. Giving him a chance to back off his mistake or else he digs his own grave and I'm not taking the fall for him.

Your'e right, sorry I misinterpreted you.

We should try to keep opposing viewpoints, especially strong opposing viewpoints at critical times in the game, professionally handled out of earshot of both coaches, as well as players, and fans; or in the locker room. Don't throw your partner under the bus in front of an audience, wait until after the game and do it professionally in the locker room, and then do it again in a professionally mannered phone call to your assigner before anybody else can call him.
