I did not - I ended up assigned to a JV game somewhere as I recall. It was a bitter pill to swallow. Here in TX the coaches have so much power. It does make you feel like you need to coddle them a bit for just that reason. I have to admit, I have not called a single T on a varsity coach this season and I have at least 2 that I should have (a partner came in and got them). I am getting much better games this season and I would be lying if I didn't say it's in the back of my mind as I like these better games. This is an area I'm working on - I clearly haven't found my comfort zone yet.

It made schools and leagues think long and hard about making such a move. |

I work for multiple ones and I would not work for the one I did this procedure in their game. Then when the word got around a couple of others might not use me either. Assignors talk around here.
Peace

Most h.s. officials I know are not full time referees. They hold down full time jobs away from the court. These coaches jobs are usually on the line year to year, contract to contract based on wins and losses. No, it's not the NBA where a firing happens at the whim of the owner (AD), but, it's similar in that regard. Coaches are out there representing their school, drawing a salary and trying to win. We are out there having fun and picking up a $70 check for our ubiased efforts. |

Do the AAU coaches act in the same manner. The most arrogant coach I've ever dealt with is the HC of a Texas AAU powerhouse.

I get that it's different elsewhere, but I'm not in Texas and we're not talking about six figure football coaches. I have no delusion that my role is something special, but at the same time part of officials being unbiased arbiters is that the coaches shouldn't be able to curry favor by being able to wield a threat of scratching the officials. Or be able to avoid technical fouls by putting such things in the officials' minds. |

Still, what do their coaching careers have to do with who officiates their games? Picking officials who will give them "homer" calls is their ticket to greatness?
