Tough Game

[Jurassic Referee]

Whatever you do, do NOT chalk that up as a learning experience. That is not only one God-awful way to try and train somebody but is also one God-awful way to treat a fellow official. He did absolutely nothing to help you learn anything in that game.

I'm not even going to begin to tell you where I thought he went wrong. There's a way to train officials and that ain't it. My advice is to just wipe that one from your mind. And please don't even think about throwing your whistle away. We need all of the good young, dedicated people that we can get in our avocation.

From your post, I think that you've got the right attitude towards learning. Hang in there and don't let people like that get to you.
