Reasons for Players Attitudes

Yes I would. Personal comments like that deserve nothing less.

JR, add another to my total...you would have wanted me to call more than one tonight but I rung up another coach...He complained about a no call on what he thought was a foul ( it wasn't ), then told me "that's BullSh!t" BANG and I warned him one more word and you're gone. I asked him ( OK I told him ) to take a seat.

It was a good game over all. 9 points in the end. 7 "T"s for the regular season...amazing consistency. I did about 60 high school games. I have not called a "T" in the chuch league that I do and I have done about 20 church league games.

I am getting at least 1 play off game...it would be nice to get 2. I will be an alternate at 1 or more games.

Gamer officals that dont wack coaches makes it worse for all of us.
I was working a District tour game last week and after we finished we stayed to watch a little of the next game.
Coach who is notorius for complaining who I have wacked on numerous occasions is all over this one offical. After a call that this offical made he starts on him. He tells the offical as he walks by to put the ball in play that he needs to look his kids in the eye and explain why he is cheating them. The offical acts like he didnt hear it. This guy is notorious for being a game fee man. So me being the hated offical who has nothing to do with the game he starts on me. He tells this guy that he is worse than me while he is pointing at me!
So I get dragged into this mess because there is an offical that lets this idiot yell at him all night long. I have to call the commissioner to report this behavior because the spineless offical wont. I enforce the rules as the book tells the officals to, and you are worried that the coach is going to black ball you? Or not give you a vote for a tour game? Someone earlier said it right.... They hate you and you cant be their buddy! If that is what you are doing, do us a favor and quit because you are making it worse for the rest of us.

Coaches will complain, its their job on the line.

However, what separates the good coach is that they know "how" to complain.

A good coach will ask you about a situation, or say to watch a particular play, but they will not ever get personal with it.

Once the coach makes it personal then he's on the way out.

But just to write about coaches complaining about calls it crazy, that's what they are paid to do.

But never allow a coach to complain about you!

Once he starts using the "you" word then he's asking to get a T and then an exit.

Once the coaches know that, its amazing how the complaining quits being personal.

Of course some coaches will never learn because we have too many officials that allow them to cross the line night after night, game after game.

That's what makes it so hard for everyone else.

WHile you are correct on the facts, there is more to it than that. Coaches also routinely referee from the bench. That doesn't last long in my games. Ask me why on a specific play I didn't call something. Ask me politely and I'll tell you. "Coach, he was bobbling the ball and had no control." But demand calls, yell out "travel" , "reach", or my favorite "Over the back" more than once and the seatbelt salesman will be smiling again as he just got another sale.
