Agree 114%.

Our association has a Code of Conduct that very explicitly states that officials should never engage in these wise-azz exchanges with anyone, no matter the level being played or the circumstances involved. It's quite simply a matter of professionalism. We expect a helluva lot more from our officials than we do from the coaches, players and fans.

If you have a problem with someone, deal with it calmly and professionally.
