An official making such a poor call that clearly demonstrates lack of basic rules knowledge is definitely something to which a coach has every right to react. If you don't believe that, then you are not putting the proper amount of care into being an official.

This call is definitely egregious for a number of reasons; may as well grant free throws on a PC foul.

Nah, I must really defer on this honor in the absence of the man who literally oozes with more deserving material.

BTW, what happened to the esteemed Old Skool??

Hey, you can't decline a nomination. You have to wait for the actual award and then say something like "Just being nominated was all the award I need."

He was taking up too much of my time, so he is on a leave of absence

Thx

No problem, I didn't take it that way. I only wanted to point out to KSRef that it might be a sub-varsity (gotta love that term) rather than a varsity official. I joined CBOA in 1994 (came over from Bull Run Officials Assn.) and I worked a few "varsity" level games before being selected for the varsity level.

The smarter coaches know how to react.
