Even I know THAT!!! An official should call the fouls and let the coach teach them how NOT to foul

talk about a more asinine and generic comment if ever. if you really think that this is an exclusive philosophy to the game and that only the coach's teach then you either don't know whats going on or simply want to make a generic statement that has very little weight.

I would say in a majority of games i either teach coaches or players a thing or on the rare occasion 2 when it comes to the rules. there are many games where coaches and players teach me things. the whole game is one cycle of inefficiencies where each group (coaches, players and officials) are trying to improve on past performances. To state "coaches teach...officals enforce rules" is a simple near sighted approach to officiating that i would suggest you re-evaluate.

It's not your job to hold a rules clinic; just call the damn game.

I can believe though that there sureashell are many games where the coaches and players teach you things.

Ummm thanks but no thanks...
My bosses prefer that I enforce the rules & let the coaches teach their own players how to play within the rules.
