So the coach was an a$$...that doesn't mean that we as officials get to be a$$es too...T the coach and then stay away from him/her. There is NO reason for that official to have gone over there and made those types of comments - and A Penn. Coach has been posting here long enough for me to take what he says at face value...like it or not, we are held to a higher standard than coaches - at least as far as what we can say during games. If I don't like what the coach is saying/doing, I can deal with it in the proper way - this official chose to handle it in a totally improper way!

Very unprofessional on the part of the official. Of course, it's nothing most of us haven't wanted to say and do at one time or another.
I've always wondered at the dichotomy in such situations. I've experienced both coaches and players who genuinely felt they could say anything they wanted, minus a few "magic words" or phrases; but if I said something out of line in return, they were on me like white on rice. "You can't say that!" "You can't do that!" "I'm telling your supervisor" blah blah blah. Suddenly I am the a-hole and they are the guiltless, offended party. What's up with that? Penn Coach, I've been reading your posts for a long time, and I respect you. I don't condone what this person (appears to have) said. But you have to admit, many coaches certainly deserve to be talked back to the way this opposing coach was.

why are we responding to this? some coach comes on the OFFICIALSFORUM and starts telling us some bogus story?
doesnt ask a question or anything and we are all responding to it saying how bad the comments are. who cares? let the school, the state or the officials that worked the game deal with it!!!!! There was no question asked and a one sided story given, dont respond to this. Then again, just like every other thread, there has to be someone in there that hijacks it with a "similiar" war story involving the time they teched a varsity coach during a JV game or some other crap. some people are absurd. |

I agreed the official's actions were inappropriate. However, if that is truly the worst thing you have ever seen an offical do on the court, you have been blessed. Now, I eagerly await for the time you come and complain about a coach telling an official "You can't ref."
