How much rope, after you mess up?

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I adjudicate (Mark, Jr.'s loves to use that word to describe officiating basketball and umpiring baseball and fast pitch softball) three sports: basketball, baseball, and fast pitch softball (the only slow pitch softball that we umpire is Special Olympics), that said, if I know that a coach is a registered official in any sport: football, swimming and diving, track and field, soccer, etc., etc., he gets NO rope what so ever.

One can be a sports official and a coach, but he is always a sports official first and a coach second even when coaching, therefore: Act the way as a coach as you want coaches to act in the games you are officiating.
