Yes, we sureasheck do. If one of our officials steps outside our written Code of Conduct, we will censure, suspend or get rid of that official- dependent on the severity of the act. We hold our officials to a much higher standard than most coaches are held. If one of our officials ever called a coach a "moron, believeyoume he would be suspended. If it had happened before, he would be let go.
