As someone who has been properly chasitsed for critical comments on officials, let me add my .02.
You think you have it rough watching what you say about local officials. Try being as close as I am with a person who has coached in the area for 25 years!! While she is not above having game film set up for me to watch she doesn't do it as often becuase she says "You ALWAYS side with the officials when I show you something" I usually just give her advice on a way to handle or approach officials the next time, i.e.: use words like displace, hot stove etc, avoid saying "3 seconds" ; get them off etc. ( Of course, this also lands me on the sofa from time to time, but at least our big screen and XBOX are out here so that helps!!!)
I usually hear from all the officials that work her games and we get good laughs out of it sometimes. I usually tell them they need to "T" her more b/c I am tired of hearing "I only have 4 technical fouls in 25 years of coaching". I think we need to get that number up around an even dozen!!!

How's THAT for thread hijacking?
