Coaches of physical teams...

[BigT]

I think this weekend I realized something. My last two games of the year were B-Soph and 4 very physical teams. The losing coach's were on us and me hard.

Almost feels personally with these guys. My question is this. A lot of JV officials struggle with physical play and probably don't call enough fouls. If you are a "dirty team" or are hoping to intimate or use physical play to give you an advantage then a referee who takes care of business is not going to be popular.

Do you guys believe that these coaches hold a grudge or ride you simply because you are not calling a game that is going to help their physical style of play?

Most of my games the kids play smart we call what we have to and the coaches appreciate it and we do not have any issues. Really only problem in 55+ games this year was the rare Boys Soph games where the kids were super dirty/physical and we were staying on top of it...

Again always appreciate what you have taught me and look forward to your opinion on this topic.
