BC Violation

[Mark Padgett]

Did you ask him what other proper calls you shouldn't make? This is a major part of what is wrong with the game. If the coaches run the game and there is a rule they don't like, then they should lobby the NF to change it. Attitudes like the one this "senior" ref has just adds to inconsistency in officiating, and that can't be good for anyone, let alone the kids.

I know some of you will say we have to call the game the way our assignor wants it to be called, but I still don't agree on intentionally not making calls that should be made according to the rules when they are "cut and dried" like this. I'm not talking about judgment calls.

Is this a rhetorical question or do we really want to know the answer?

Actually I did not ask him b/c we still had another half to work and I was afraid of his answer!
