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?

This is jr. high, which around here is unregulated. A school may have anyone they choose to call the games. The school in question has a different guy in charge of assigning games, instead of the association used by everyone else.
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 inquired locally and was politely told that nothing would happen so I'd be better off to forget about it. I don't know how accurate this is but was told that the only reason he had the job was because nobody else wanted it.

Or has this clown "turned over a new leaf?"

Nope, same guy. Check out the thread called, "some things are more important than money." That's him.

It is never our job to take any kind of abuse for the effort to "play the game for the kids." I think any official has other obligations than continuing a game when an administrator is behaving is such an unprofessional manner. If the administrator wants the game to continue, then he or she needs to behave in a way that would allow the game to continue. At least you will draw attention to the behavior of the administrator and they will have to answer why they behaved in such a way that would cancel a game.
