Ima varsity girls' coach. I understand Smitty's assertion that coaches who have officiated are terrible (for reasons most of us have experienced), but I would like to think that officiating has helped teach me to be a better coach than I used to be. Again, I like to think that I am more reasonable in what I expect out of the officials. Biggest lesson: spend my time coaching and not observing/critiquing/reacting/begging the officials.
