Professionalism
How do you handle officials who actually think they are better then they actually are??
How do you handle officials who think they "have arrived" after only being on the University/College list for 1 year? How do you handle officials who think they now have the right to talk down to up and coming officials? How do you handle officials who do not respect the small colleges and treat them like second class citizens because they apparently made it to the big leagues now?? How do you handle the officials who have not earned respect from coaches and players but now seem to demand it just because of the level of official they are now?? How do you handle officials who actually have the nerve to ask the assignor to be chosen to go to a National Championship? Or who also asks to work the big high school tournaments because of their status?? How do you handle such an ego when in reality they are just above average, only made the University panel because another member moved away which opened up the spot and they are not getting the "big assignments" because every one else knows what a knob they are! haha |
Since you apparently have these problems in your own life...how do YOU handle them?

The truth is that none of us are probably as good as we think we are. How do you handle officials who think they "have arrived" after only being on the University/College list for 1 year? First of all, that is your perception of them. Who cares? Not your problem. Worry about you instead. How do you handle officials who think they now have the right to talk down to up and coming officials? Not something I would spend any time worrying about. How do you handle officials who do not respect the small colleges and treat them like second class citizens because they apparently made it to the big leagues now?? Not something I would spend any time worrying about. How do you handle the officials who have not earned respect from coaches and players but now seem to demand it just because of the level of official they are now?? This is getting old....... Move on. You must have other things to worry about. |

It sounds like you have a lot of issues where you are. And it sounds like you are trying to control people that you have no right to control. Unless you are speaking as an assignor or evaluator, I really do not know how you could handle anyone but tell them the truth or take games away. It sound like you got too much involved in feelings of individual officials. Peace |
OK, who's the official that got the assignment you wanted? :rolleyes:
|
I was just curious as to how some might handle the bigger than life egos out there in the officiating world as to not get sucked into it.
There was no assignment that this official received over any one else. I know cream rises to the top! |

As for all the other stuff, others have already given you the answer. Control what you can control and don't worry about the other stuff. When you work with this guy, you can't control him or his ego or the respect that he gets. Just work the game as hard as you can and somebody will notice. |

No seriously, we have a pretty good group of guys, I mean when there are only 42 of you, it's.....let's just say, we are what we are. We deal with it. I had one official during a college scrimmage, we were suppose to have 3 officials and he and I showed up, the 3rd didn't, he said to me, " I hesitate to go out there with just YOU", I dealt with his giant ego. I was in my 7th year, he in his 3rd, but he went to a camp to get college games and I did not. I am not interested in getting college games, I am 53 years old and got into officiating late in life. I love doing high school ball. |

The idea is the more talent you have for something the more you see your own flaws, and you are less satisfied with how you do. Those with less talent don't see their own flaws. |
