... and by making that statement you have just joined a very small but elite group of men who possess true humility.

I would like to work your games. A coach willing to listen and learn is a rare individual.

Lets not go overboard guys. I have had officals come up to me during a game and apologize for making a wrong call. I usually don't get upset because I realize if a official misses a call it's because he didn't see it. They try to do the best job they can do and I as a coach, try to do the best I can do. I'm good for at least 2 bad play calls a game, but Thats the nature of the beast.
It's still a game after all.

I believe you are the first coach I have ever heard make such an admission, however, 2 bad play calls out of 60-70 total plays is pretty darn good!

well, 2 is the most I care to admit to.....LOL
