In the huddle

He said, "The coach would not shut up and I had the same trouble with him last week." I was always taught to stay away from the huddles. I also was taught to not let something that happened in a previous game carry over to the next one. How could I have helped my partner in this situation?

PENALIZING THE KIDS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LIKE THE COACH.

This is where I have to throw in my who cares about the kids -- its stopped mattering about them once they started playing organized sports. Dont lose sleep over these penalized kids, they will be fine -- unfortunatley rogue officials are out there and I hear Jerry Bruckheimer is going to make a movie about them. It will feature a great scene with Jon Diebler in the State finals officiating, coaching and playing. Should be good...

JMO, you have clearly identified yourself as an officials who hold grudges against coaches.
