OH I absolutely agree with you. As a first year official, I had not, at that point, completed my transformation from Howler monkey fan to calm, cool, and collected official.

Ooh, in my past I have been a howler fan, parent, coach, asst coach, scoreboard op, scorebook person, etc. BAD, BAD ME!

(For some reason, when you put on the stripes, it all changes. Hmm?)

Not necessarily. The wife of a guy I used to work with frequently was a jr. high girls coach. When he was at her games as a spectator, he turned into a total nut job, screaming about "missed" traveling calls in the last 2 minutes of a blowout.

I can tell you for certain this individual would have had a difficult time getting games after behaving like this; if he was in my association (any association I've been in, actually). Word gets around quickly in our circles; especially with an official acting this unprofessionally.

Yep, this is certainly true in our area too.
