Nice to have a follow-up
Obviously, Mr. Visiting Principal DOES NOT GET IT. How sad for those kids to be exposed to such an incompetent "leader".:(
FYI: In Wisconsin, this game would not have been played. TWO officials must be on the court, failure to adhere to this policy will make you liable if any harm would occur. Needless to say, not worth the risk... "to let the kids play" |

No certified Officials = no Game If this was planned by the officials to teach a lesson to the school administrator, does it really punish the "idiot" or the kids who want to play ball? |
Quote:
I'm told, third hand, that there was a good explanation for having no officials. The guy forgot. |
My question is....
Almost four years later....and this idiot is still the principal????? Was his behavior from the OP reported? Did anything come of it? Or has this clown "turned over a new leaf?" Just curious....... |

I am that principal and who do you think you are slandering my good name all across this virtaul smorgasboard of hate?
I will make sure you never work a 7th/8th grade game ever again. I will also make sure to give you dirty looks should I see you in public. I am waiting for the day my 8th grade team wins the state championship and I can let everyone know what a bad official you are. YOUR MOTHER IS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER STINKS OF ELDERBERRY!!! Of course you are just another ref -- you all the same -- elderberry eating hamsters. Happy Halloweenie btw... |

The point here is that my card was refused, while another guy's identical card was accepted. I am told that this qualifies as discrimination, which goes past the point of showing ones a**, and reaches the point of being against the law. |

Perhaps it was discrimination but I'd be careful about throwing around those accusations simply because someone else got in free and you didn't. There could be 100's reasons that it occured (and, yes, one of them actually is discrimination). |
This probably will not be popular but I would have no desire to ever work a game with this team again. I have never had this situation where a person (coach, player, admin, parent) has attacked me personally so I am speaking off of my thoughts, not personal experience. If this happened to me I think I would gladly excuse myself from working any of their games again. I would call my assignor and association president and tell them I have no desire to work this school again. I know if I had to continue to work this team's games I would come home frustrated over one person who, from reading the posts, I do not think I can do anything about. Writing letters is great and I would do all those things, but from what just another ref says, it probably will not aftect this principal. Unfortunately, some people will not learn. So maybe it is time to stay away from him and continue to enjoy this wonderful game with other groups of people. I referee because, something my wife cannot figure out, I love to referee. If something makes me start to not love it I need to adjust fire or think abour giving it up. Maybe this is one of those times that adjusting fire is appropriate. Just a thought. :)

What happened is, the first day I presented my card and was allowed in. But the principal saw me come in and sent the doorkeeper to get the money: "Mr. principal says we don't honor these cards." This is his right. But the next day a friend went to the tournament, presented his card, and was allowed in. Principal was standing there, and announced, "Yeah, this card is okay, but there's another guy who will probably be here later," called my by name, "don't accept his card." Sounds kinda discriminatory to me, but I am not an attorney, and have not stayed at Holiday Inn Express recently. By the way, the people there know their principal by now, so the guy let me in with my card anyway. |
