I'm getting in on this one way late, but here's my opinion. First of all, I agree with everyone that JH officials and coaches are often (but we really don't know in this case) inexeperienced. That's why they're at that level. I don't think, as an official I can say that the official was "wrong" to call the T. I wasn't there. I do know that the assistant by rule shouldn't be up. By being up, he's tempting fate. His action of standing opened the window for the T. I honestly wouldn't have called it unless he was complaining. Another issue here, that many of us have talked about in other posts, is with experienced officials, our tolerance level goes down as most of us go down with the level we are officiating. I feel like, and have been told at camps, that I'm a solid official. I'm not going to take far less abuse from fans and especially coaches than I would in a varsity game. Lastly coach, you post begins that you were still angry when you wrote. You have JH players to coach and model for. I understand being upset about losing. I'm all about playing to win. But at the JH level, isn't learning the game, enjoying the game, and learning sportsmanship the main thing? It sounds like your team played a good game. An official made a call at a critical time in the game that did hurt your chances to win. Its going to happen. Pat your players on the rear, tell them they did a nice job, and move on. Sorry this is so long. Maybe I should have posted earlier and more than once.
