a few years ago when we were required to confirm with the coach if a player was wearing an arm sleeve for a medical reason a head coaches response to me, and this is a direct quote, was "yeah, he has a medical reason, he is ****ing retarded!"

I can't answer for you, but I'm pretty sure the reason I'm laughing us that I'm an insensitive @sshole.

Don't sell yourself short, Judge. You're not insensitive.

This question really makes the IAABO test look boring.

I knew it!!

And I was laughing too...pretty sure that if a coach said that to me, I would need to return to the locker room for a few minute to stop laughing.

Not to judge, disparage, or seemingly lecture from on high to anyone who has commented on this, but this is completely offensive to me. Would this be an acceptable thing to hear/say/laugh about while officiating a team or player with special needs (which I have)? If not, why is it acceptable otherwise?

Just something to think about.
