What's the Point?

About the original question, yeah, as mentioned, probably inexperienced. The only T I have ever given for an assistant "standing up" was when he kept whining and was a total pain after warnings to he and the head coach. Maybe there was some of that?

And how exactly do you know that the guy was "probably" inexperienced? Have you heard the official's story to get his side of what really happened? Why are you pre-judging that official anyway? You talk about giving the coach some respect, but whereinthehell is your respect to the official that you're judging and labelling without ever hearing his side?

Jmo, but I think that you are out of line with your comments a helluva lot worse than Dan.
