Your killing me rainmaker.
Yes, the ol' boy was unprofessional.
Yes, it gives a bad impression.
Yes, the official should not be doing a scouting report.
Yes, it is none of my business if he wants to be a jerk.
No, I am not going to run to an "official" and tell them about all this perceived cheating.

This is the playoffs...we officiate in other association's regions. We can't always know the politics of that region.
We can't go in their house and start cleaning it up.

Listen, mick says..."Get in, Get done, and Get out".

What do you think that means?

You are going to see some things you don't always agree with in this advocation. Show your peers you have ethics...be professional...know your rules...know your mechanics...but, watch out who you signal out as a cheat.
I have been officiating for over 16 years...and I can honestly say I have never seen or heard of an official cheating for another team.

If you have a problem with a coach talking excessively to your partner...there have been some very good suggestions on how to handle it. I know one thing...I wouldn't run to another locker room...I would run the coach out (albeit diplomatically)
