Here's the perfect example of what I mean. HS game this year...after 2 visiting subs enter the game, the Lead official administers the ball before both players could leave the floor. The visiting coach gets the Trails attention to stop the game so the player can get off the floor...and in a normal tone tells the Lead: "Sir, can you please wait to administer the ball so that the players get properly get off the floor?"...TWEEEEET!!!!!...(you guessed it) - visiting coach gets a T. When brought to the assignors attention, who do you think he supported...the Lead (who was completely in the wrong) or the Coach who had a valid complaint? (My jaw practically hit the floor when I witnessed it).

My point is, unless it's a rule that gets kicked (which happens to state final officials as well as rookies), officials rarely get in trouble w/ HS assignors.

I had one ejection this season. I've watched the film. I will not rehire that crew.
