I think it needs to be said that I do not feel this comment that truerookie made was in any way unprofessional. We can debate if it was effective or not, but I do not think this snappy comment was at all professional. It is very professional to let a coach know they are not to officiate the game. I just did not like the statement because it puts you into a box.
