Our association suspends officials for acts like that. Perception is reality to fans watching someone yelling at officials.

There is a very fine line between "being involved in the game" and "being openly critical of the officials." A friend of mine got into some trouble for this years ago. I don't know that we have the power to suspend an independent contractor as an association. I am sure that the OHSAA can, though.

It is not realistic to be quiet during a game, but, if folks around you KNOW that you are an official AND you berate fellow officials, you are by your actions, condoning such activity. This is not a good idea. An occasional comment can be accepted, but incessant yelling can get you into trouble.

Mutant, enjoy the game, yell for your team all you want, just be careful not to cross that line.
