Interesting End of Game Sequence

Around here, everything is assigned by assigners, so I'd be on the phone before I left the parking lot.

Not to blunt any criticism of me, I couldn't care less. If the assigner doesn't want me making this call, I won't be working his ms games. I'd make the call to complain about the AD trying to inject himself into the officiating.

Let me clarify about the AD. He isn't the AD for the site, he is the AD at the district level for a very large district over 3 high schools and 5 middle schools(over 20,000 students). He also happens to be my boss (I coach at the HS level in the district). While I didn't agree with his comment, he was very polite about it and didn't go out of his way to say it or do it in front of others (he was watching the game from the hallway that the locker rooms were in). This was a young, first year official and I think he just thought he was trying to help the guy out. Again, I don't agree with his comment, but I also want to clarify the tone/context of the conversation. Also, both schools were MS from the district, so it wasn't like it benefitted a school outside the district at the expense of one of 'his' schools.
