Tom, not having been there and seen the guy, just going by what you posted..the guy asked for feedback. Did it start out with you giving him some criticism and him doing the "Yeah, but..." thing? Or did you go straight from "What have you got for me?" to snapping and drop-kicking his a$$?

If it was the first, good for you.

If it was the second, was he really that bad? Could you have gotten the point across to him that he was that bad without snapping and letting him walk out of there thinking YOU are the jerk?

Just wondering what all happened, not trying to attack you, Tom. I just know that some of MY best learning experiences have come through having to deal with officials like this guy - on the court or at camps as an evaluator/clinician.
