Officials Talk Too Much To Coaches....

[Jurassic Referee]

The job that we have to do doesn't lend itself to absolutes. It's impossible to make hard and fast, one-size-fits-all directives to cover all situations. Sometimes it's better to talk; some times it's better to walk. The officials who are noted for being good game-managers know when to try to do something that fits the situation that they are looking at in that particular point of time. And even then, they'll still run into a situation where all the game management skills in the world can't stop the Huggins' of the world from going off and having to be dealt with.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. And that's the same at any level.

It's always best to walk the talk.

Absolutely 100 percent agree. Couldn't be said better.
