CYO Butch-
Look at it this way, at half time, you are getting your backside handed to you by the other team.....would you appreciate a ref coming over to and say......hhhmmmm it seems that you are not calling the same type of play that the other coach is calling maybe you should talk it over..... I would in my humble opinion...bite your tongue! AK ref SE |

I have no problem with a coach asking anything, particularly if he saw everything clearly from his spot "on the floor?" (You remember where the box is, Coach?" ) If you are reasonable, you won't get a "T" 100% of the time. mick |

I am going to disagree on one point.....we are partners out there....I believe we are judged as one(Partners)....not as individuals....however saying that.....the assignors/evaluators will look at us as individuals or should look at us as individuals. AK ref SE |

In theory yes, in practice no.

When I got hired in the leagues I got hired, it was not because of the crews I worked with, it was for what I could do on my own. You will ultimately be judged as an individual. Peace

I agree with you on being an individual...moving up....calling your game.....The point the I was trying to make.....besides the assignor/evaluator and maybe other officials...we are looked at as a crew.....the calls/no calls that are partners makes reflects on us as a crew. JMHO AK ref SE |

I agree with that observation. In fact, if we could pick our own partners, I would applaud the fact that it occurs. mick Edited out brain cramps. [Edited by mick on Oct 10th, 2002 at 09:49 PM] |

I'm still learning to "call my own game", and am not very good at adjusting yet. But, when I am working with a less experienced partner (there are a few of these around!), I do point out the importance of working off the same page, and I keep discussing it throughout the game, if necessary. If they object, I back off some and adjust a little. If a partner tells me I'm calling too tight, I ask for some compromise -- I'll loosen up a little if you'll call the whatever a little more. The hardest is when the partner is calling things based on emotion and is inconsistent himself. Then I just remember mick's sage words, repeated often during the season, Get in, Get done, Get out! Period. |

Ow, ow, ouch.
I apologize if my comments were construed as patronizing. I in no way meant them in that way. I have very rarely been in a situation where I thought the officials weren't on the same page. On those rare occasions it has been "comforting" to see the officials talking to one another during breaks (especially when they're not pointing and gesturing at me!), and appear to be discussing game management. Shoot, they might have actually been talking about where to go for a beer after the game, but, perception makes a difference. As a coach, I appreciate the way you work together to make the game flow more smoothly. And, I know this is a bit off-topic, but I wanted to address a comment mick made. If I got it right, I think he was saying coaches don't recognize differences in officials. To a degree he's right, because the vast majority of officials call similarly. But, we've had refs who do have "pet" calls. We've had one who is a real stickler for travel calls. The first time I had him I got into all kinds of trouble. After that, I knew what to expect, so was much more refined. Just a growler monkey! Last, I don't think I'll ever post on the "other site". My ego couldn't take it.
