How to deal with bad refs

[Raymond]

Are the refs ever favoring your team and players or is it just your opponents? Do other coaches ever complain that your team gets a call on one end but his team doesn't get the same call? Have you ever noticed that your team gets the benefit of a bad call?

But I digress, bottom line is that if you want better refs your league needs to pay more money for officials.

Can't disagree with the better pay comment. And no there's never favoritism to my team. It's not really about my team as much as it's about the favoritism shown to two teams and all others get the treatment I'm concerned with.

Until this year our team was the doormat of the league and the refs wouldn't call fouls where blood was drawn from fingernails across skin because we were down by 30 and what was the point? The refs wanted to get to their car. I got a T on that one and was threatened with the ref ending the game if I didn't cut it out which was laughable because we were already down 30 with 2minutes left in the game. I deserved the T but my rule was the kids weren't allowed to complain to the refs so I had to stick up for him on it.

I'm considering talking to the league administrator about it however I think I'm going to have to wait until after the championship game. I just wanted to see what others think and what advice they might have about it.

What do you pay your officials? Are your officials certified by the state? You want better officiating, you'll have to pay for it.
