Along the same lines, there was a pretty good official in our association who decided to give it up mostly because he was frustrated with all the complaining from players, coaches and parents (at least that's what he told me was the reason). Fast forward a couple of years and he became coach at a local high school. Wouldn't you know it, he was one of the worse for getting on officials.

One of the last games I played in, many years ago, was officiated by a young guy who I had helped train not long before. No whining, but I flinched and frowned a lot. The guy guarding me fouled out. One foul of the five was legitimate.

And yet, I'm still going to mostly ignore the claims of "I used to be an official too."

We've had a few of those here in my little corner of Connecticut.
