So keep up with the name calling all you guys want but I'm sticking to my points and can anyone honestly answer No to the two questions? Everyone makes mistakes and refs should work to limit them. I observed some things and I want to avoid it when I ref games.
Let me get this right. Since a partner you had this year told you he regretted a couple of calls, you made the mental leap to assume it was because the coaches got to him? Did he say as much, or did you make an assumption you're not qualified to make? Those are your only two options here.

Do refs make calls they regret? All the time.
Does that qualify a newby to say the excitement got to them? Absolutely not.

Frankly, if your partner was flustered by the excitement of a JV game, that's probably the highest level he's worked.
