The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[BillyMac]

Prep school doubleheader yesterday. I'm watching the game after mine. The athletic director comes over and sits with me and proceeds to tell me what a horrible job one of the officials is doing, and how, when I go into the locker room after the game, I should tell this official what he was doing wrong.

After the game I went into the locker room, chatted about a few plays with the two officials, said goodbye, went out to my car, and called my commissioner from the parking lot. I did not reveal the name of the official who was given the negative critique by the athletic director, nor did I go into the specific complaints, but I did tell my commissioner that this was the most unprofessional conduct that I've seen from any athletic director in my thirty years of officiating. He agreed with me, and thanked me for the phone call, and the information. This is one athletic director that won't be getting any favors from our commissioner any time soon.
