Really? At most, I'd chuckle internally on that one. I don't see anything about what he said that was unsportsmanlike.

I originally thought the same thing, but re-read JugglingReferee's post. "That's a foul!" is what got the kid whacked. If he said it loud enough, and with a certain tone, that might have gotten him whacked in my game too.

Seriously? I can't think of a single circumstance where I'd allow a player to give an official an order.

imo, you need to better discern what's a general complaint (that needs to be adressed) and what's an "order."

The OP reads to me like the former -- and it wouldn't get a T.

Thanks for your concern, Bob, but I think I can discern an imperative sentence from a declarative one. That's not very difficult. Actually, it's quite black-and-white there.

I'm sure you can. It's also not what I said.

You're welcome.

Very well, then. Am I to understand that you believe you have to "feel" what's an order and what isn't?

Good grief...it's not an order. It's a 17 year old kid whining because his team is getting their butts kicked. Tell him to knock it off and move on.

Would love to hear the conversation with the Coach...

Coach: "What did he say?"

Official: "He told me to lighten up on the calls a little bit."

Coach: "You whacked him for THAT?"

Official: "Absolutely Coach. He can't order me around like that."

Hmmm...that's not going to end well at all.

C'mon - really? You're sounding OOO...
