In my opinion, a successfully officiated game is one where the better team wins, there are no cheap shots, and the coaches and players do not exhibit much negative emotion. When that happens, the officiating is invisble to everyone. And yes, I know that this is not possible in every game. But that's my goal every night.

When someone has a personality conflict with a coach (or a player), the chances of this happening are close to zero.
