Unsportsmanlike?

Durham,

For the last two years in the rules meeting and every area meeting we've been told by the state, by our assigner (in several emails per year too), and by our area supervisor that we collectively are letting waaaay too much unsporting behavior slide w/o enforcement. We are being told at every turn in the road that we as a group are not calling nearly enough technical fouls for unsporting behavior. Last year, an area AD even wrote a letter to the state complaining that no officials were enforcing coaching box restrictions or enforcing rules on coaches unsporting behavior!

The problem, and this may deserve a thread of it's own, is that we are selected for post season by votes of coaches. Every coach you T is one more coach that isn't voting for you.

No problem. You can still look at yourself in the mirror after the game, can't you?

Exactly! As our commissioner likes to say, "Don't sell your soul for a bowl of porridge."

Yep. I can look at myself in the mirror when I am done for the night. During post season, I look at myself in the mirror at home, and I'm just fine with it.
