Sadly, it even happens in Oregon

I'm married to a school principal, she read this post and said her coach would be history and her school sports program would be history until the involved parents wrote letters of apology to the official. Let the parents go home and explain their deplorable behavior to their kids, who, let's not forget, are the beneficiaries and the victims of all this. Enough is enough with this BS, IMHO.

#1, I doubt seriously that Jurassic Referee is more forgiving than you.

#2, 17 y/o referees are not as equipped as you and don't know/understand how to handle such situaitons.
