Thanks in advance
 

I know officials get a lot of crap, deserved or not. So before this years high school season gets under way, I'd like to say thank you to the officials that work hard, care about the game, take pride in their craft yet humbly acknowledge their imperfections, strive to get better and do their best game in and game out. You guys are an intergral part of this game we all love. Don't let the "other" kind of refs bring you down, and don't let coaches make you jaded (remember there are a few out there that aren't satan's offspring).

And remember: call it both ways, and let the players decide the game, and don't forget to bring your glasses!

Have a great season everyone.

And you remember to bring your rule book with you and show it to the official at the proper time - it'll get you in good with them! ;)

PS - You have a good season too and let us know how it goes...and how well we do!

Go get 'em, Coach! :)

I'd say thanks to you coaches as well. I couldn't put myself through that year after year. You are even more underpaid than officials at most levels.

Was That Parent An AH-64 Apache, Or A UH-60 Black Hawk ???
 

Good luck with the "helicopter parents".

Good post Coach, those are my sentiments, too. I lose 3 starters from last years team...we'll see what kind of a coach I am this year!!! And I'll keep the little pea soup green book handy for easy reference during the game.:)

I don't know what that means....:(

They both hover.

- Edited to reflect actual intent, the season hasn't even started, you don't have to start working us. Save that for game time :p
