Kicking and screaming

I’ve watched referee’s that I assign, officiating the team that I help coach. In every case they do a good job, not flawless but that is impossible. That does not stop me from twitching every once in a while when they make a call or don’t make a call I don’t necessarily agree with. I don’t care what sport it is, no two referee’s will call the same game the same way, add to that the fact that I’m watching as a prejudiced coach. I remind myself the whole time that they are going a their job and I should shut up. So I do. I have yet to say anything to any of them. That’s not a pat on the back just an admission of guilt, cause I want to yell. You’d think that this would give me a new perspective for coaches that yell at me when I’m in the middle of a game. Yea you might think that but that is not the case. I think it’s made me even less tolerant.
