Sure sounded to me like you were using fear tactics to stifle a reasonable discussion ("keep it to yourself"). That doesn't sit well with me. If we can't reasonably talk about differences of opinion in officiating topics, even when we're disagreeing with the Coordinator of Officials, then what's the point of even having this Forum.

Fear tactics? You are not serious are you?

Even if that was the intention, if you do not work college ball and specifically Division 1, I do not see how you would have something to be afraid of. And if you do work college ball or you are on the verge of working D1, then you should already have the sense to know that what you say might get you into trouble. This is the very reason the likes of Chuck E and others do not really post here anymore. Would you consider Chuck E of using fear tactics when he said on this board why he and others do not post here anymore?

If you want to discuss your disagreement, I do not see how what Jeff said was going to prevent you from your opinions being shared.

Peace
