Is it Just Understood

[Green]

A number of members on this board have made commments about coaches rating the officials and how it effects the way an official makes calls.

To the officials who officate in these conditions, is it just understood that the official is expected to favor the team on his side-of-the-field or in favor (in the case of the home team hiring the crew) the home team?

In our group we get dinged for a full season, not just a low rating by the coach.

We have a number of powerhouses in our area and they will not accept the team on the other side of the field getting favorable treatment by the officials, which they might ding an officail for.

De La Salle (the team that just had its 150 game winning streak broken last week by a school in Seattle) has played teams in our area. A powerhouse like De La Salle is not going to schedule schools in an area were the officials will homer them.
