You can take this anyway you want to, but I am not sure how you got anyone. I just disagree with your flawed point of view.

And if you do not realize it now, you will realize it in the future either through personal experience or observing someone that you will see someone (might be you) put into a situation you did not expect to be in and it will have nothing to do with wanting that "glory" as you put it.

What happened to that Ohio official that we have been talking about for the past few days is the very example I am getting at. His name was in the paper all for doing his job and the school put him into a situation that he would not have been in if they just accepted the outcome and not find excuses for their team's failure. And now this guy will forever be known as the official that “should have apologized” for his call.

Peace

I'm not sure why anyone has a desire for "glory" in officiating. There is no glory in it to begin with. Everyone hates you at some point, it just depends on when it is. I don't officiate anything for attention or glory. I do it because I like it and I enjoy the sports I'm calling. The money isn't bad either.

I think you misunderstood my post. By saying "I got ya now", I meant I understand you now. Not "Ha I have you trapped".

I have no problem with you disagreeing with my post, everyone has their opinions, which is why I like message boards.

What I don't understand is where you are going with that example of the ref in Ohio.
