Am I reading this right? It's OK to crap on officials publically as long as you don't name or identify 'em?

Or am I missing something?

A local coach in our area was fined by FHSAA for inappropriate comments to the media about the officiating in a particular game.

Not naming specific games and situations SHOULD be a given for anyone who posts here, or anywhere else. Even references other than A1, B1 are much safer than V45 & H23 when describing plays. Sometimes, people want to publicly talk about a situation, but should refrain. 'No comment' never hurt anybody.
