That is why they are there. New referees are not automaticlally endowed with great people skills or good judgement just because they put on a whistle....particularly if they are 15 years old.

Just adding one more thought to my prior post...

This entire discussion is about whether league administrators should have the authrority to set aside a suspension imposed by league rules....not to overturn a call made on the floor. I'd say that ANY level, that is entirely within the scope of the league's authority to do so. The game official has no jurisdiction over league penalties...only in-game penalties. In fact, the state of Oregon, which automatically suspends anyone ejected from a HS game, allows an appeal of the suspension. That appeal is heard by the OSAA and the commissioner of the assigning association. 99% of the time the suspension is upheld, but, on occassion, it is overturned.
