If you're gonna take coaches' accolades to heart, do the same when a rampaging fool calls you the absolute worst effing ref in history. Of course you won't cause we all know HE works in my state.

Oh I understand that it can turn on a dime. I had a baseball coach tell me after a game that I was the best ball/strike umpire he had seen at the HS level. The next year, he tells me that my strike zone was "floating all night long". I reminded him of his comment the previous year and asked if he considered the fact that since I was the constant and his pitcher was the variable, maybe he should talk to his guy toeing the rubber. (The guy the year before was a stud [drafted out of HS], the pitcher the second year shouldn't have been pitching above JV level).

By the way, I now coach HS baseball and softball (why I am turning to basketball for an officiating outlet).

I can beat that; during one of my first years doing hs ball working a sophomore game, I had a visiting coach tell me at half time that it was the best game he'd seen officiated at that level.

After the game, he said we were the worst officials he'd seen all year.

You can guess which team gave up the half time lead to lose the game.
