Questions for Veteran officials

Unless this veteran official is on the local officails' association executive, I think he overstepped his bounds.

Having said that, that don't matter because the damage is done - the assignor believes this guy.

I think running to the assignor and tattling on someone is like talking about officials while in the stands, etc... - don't do it. (If the ref is sooooo bad that he is WAY WAY over their head, then maybe that call is just. Even then, the assignor should watch that official work and make his own decision.)

How has your association thought of your ability during FR and JV games? Maybe this veteran is jealous you got a V game in your 2nd year. Has he been locked out of a V sked? Was he upset because his daughter was fouled and he wants justice? It takes all kinds in this world...

Shortly after that particular game in which the veteran official sent the e-mail to the assignor and myself the association sent an observer to evaluate my game performance (which I welcomed)The observer gave me some advice went over my evaluation in which I rated very high. The assignor also e-mailed me and told me that the e-mail would not affect my assignments in the future. I just thought that it was unprofessional for him to send an e-mail to the assignor. I watch my son play every Tuesday and friday and if i sent an e-mail to the assignor everytime I thought one of my fellow officials slighted my son I would need a new key board.
