Why don't officials get respect?

You are relatively new in this Official's Forum. As I read your first post of this thread, I was evaluating what types of information I could use in my reply to objectively satisfy your alleged quest.

As you are aware, ref18 quickly rebuked the legitimacy/sincerity of your question. The premise of his challenge was his interpretation of your posts in previous threads. I agree that he was presumptuous, but it afforded you the opportunity to prove whether you sincerely wanted to learn the dynamics of your original post or were chosing to use it as a platform to chide officials.

Bart Tyson even "checked" Ref18's post/attitude.

Unfortunately, you opted to go the low road and make this a "broadbrushed" stab at the officials. What does that say about YOUR representation of the coaching advocation? I would argue it is not a favorable one.

Fortunately for the majority of coaches, I am able to dismiss YOUR conduct as an individual act. I refuse to paint all coaches with a vindictive brush. I try my darndest to maintain an objective perspective at all times, I suggest you do the same. The game will be better for it.

Hopefully you have learned something positive from your negative actions (comments) in this thread.
