We are ALL human....Refs, coaches, kids, and parents!! Everyone makes mistakes. Yesterday at goddard, a coach asked for the head ref, after a bad call. The ref was young and unsure of the true definition of an escape. The head ref came over explained it to him and the call was overturned..It was the right call.......Now keep one thing in mind, these young refs are the future..look around the mats...some of these guys aren't getting any younger..The young ones will catch on. Local tournaments aren't qualifiers, they are tough practices getting ready for a bigger picture. One bad call isn't the end of the world..I'm just as guilty as the next guy, on questioning a call...just don't loose sleep over it or mull it over and over, learn from it and fix it at the next tournament.
