What to tell Refs to enforce a "safe" game

[JRutledge]

Coach,

I can tell you right now you would lose all credibility with me right off the bat. You have no right to tell me what to do or how to do it. I do not know the ins and outs of your offense or defensive schemes. Do not tell me what I should do to officiate a game. If you want a safe game that is your issue. I can never guarantee the safety of your team. That is your job. All I do is call violations and fouls that I see and I think apply to the game appropriately. Kids are going to get hurt whether I blow my whistle or not. It is your job to teach the kids to adjust the style of play and the officiating.

Peace
