You mean cheat and illegally recruit players? ;)

Im glad SOMEONE picked up on it. The Sunday Bulletin will read "Upward Bound Coach/Team have to vacate victories and league title. Players apparently were caught cheating in Sunday School"!! Ok better stop now, Ihave a LOT!!
Also, I agree, words are words, but in the league I ran, the parents were very complimentary. They even gave me the Sportsmanship Award!! I thought it was cute!

Dang, all these years I thought your 'nom de whistle' was Skippy Weaselpants!!!

I would never ref at that level. If you can then props to you. 6th grade and above for me. I played in some top level youth leagues that made me a good player but until 4th/5th grade it was never serious.

HA, HA, And of course you kept a straight face while doing it. That is too good, can't wait to share it on Friday with the crew. You should have tried out for Johnny Carson's job!

After reading this, the letter should have been thrown in the trash. If you weren't there, I'm not interested in your opinion even assuming I would be at any point.

So let me get this straight...
 

this "coach," wasn't even present at the game, and he wrote a letter complaining about your refereeing? I believe the word for that kind of writting would be fiction.

I'd have an issue with the admin who bothered to make you aware of this letter. Should have been round filed.

Don't let an idiot like this "coach" get under your skin. He doesn't deserve the thought required for you to have a resentment towards him. From your description, kids and this youth program are fortunate to have a game official available to them who is as thoughtful and considerate of the kids as you are. It would be a shame for the program to lose you over this idiot.
