If the refs at State cost you folks that many matches, you probably ought to take up foosball. No refs to screw you there.
I personally think that we have a HECK of a good crew of young officials that started within the last year or two. Some of which, when they started, were horrible. But instead of being a$$holes to them, and running them off, it appears that we as coaches have managed to lay off of them long enough for them to become pretty darn good referees, instead of running them off. I thought the state crew was as good as I've seen. And there was several of these new officials that I speak of, working the state tourney.
But in all my years, I've never gotten on a talk forum to blame a loss on an official. The day I do that is the day I want someone to take my coaches card away.....Cause I ain't doing the kids any good by making excuses for them............
