We face a team that 3 years ago geat us 50+ to zip and during the game they did not got of the pedal the complete game. We where there with only 19 player (semi pro).
No this year we face them again and they only have 22 which equals our number today. The game ended 52:07 with a win for us. During the complete game we got bad smacktalk from some of the player, our player get through the game by just scoring TD on them...
In the end we get tackled way out of bounce and get hit in the belly (the ref did not see that one) and our coach just starts laughing at this one because the complete game those late actions and smacktalk was just ignored by the refs. So the coach gets a warning for his laugh?? What is this?
Well in the end we won that is important, but would you feel teribble as a coach? Some opposing players even not shock hands with the coach after the game... I count that as far more unfair as just laughing at a call, am I wrong?

Just like bad coaches, bad ref's do exist. I got thrown out of a game once for getting in a ref's ear. The opposing team, kept grabbing my safety by the facemask and whipping him to the ground..4 times ..no call, my kid told the ref , he told my kid "to shut up, and play football" . I tell the ref that they are going to do it again, I want a call..2 plays later same thing no call, although my kid landed at the other ref's feet. Now to be honest I have a legendary horrid temper, but this guy was wrong. I cost my team 15 yards, we lost, a close game, but not 1 kid or parent disagreed with what I did. You have to point those things out. You didn't lose the game, you got some revenge...live and learn |

Beeing a Coach and Official in Germany for 12 years now, I know for good, what "crazy Coaches" and what "blind Refs" are out there.
My attitude is, that although we (here in Germany) are TOTAL amateurs in football, we still can have a professional attitude towards what we do. As a Coach and as a Ref we do it for the others (players, kids, etc). So we should better do it 100% correct and with heart or quit and watch TV.
That´s beeing said, telling a player to "shut up" would never come in my mind. Not in youth football, not in Semi-Pro. But as a Coach we have to live with that.
I am in those official´s ears, when they officiate a game with me, but 9 of 10 with that attitude (okay, be honest... 90% of all Refs do NOT have that attitude) do not want to remember what others told them, when that particular game is over.
I myself had to update to "Coach 2.0" after 9 1/2 years of Coaching as I quit my OC-position due to various reasons right during a running game. It came alltogether. unloyal staff members, players not caring, some even not attending a game, horrible Ref-Crews for the last 4 games, chairman who put the team in some crucial financial and organisational trouble, and many more.
After that, I started to be the cool guy on Sidelines. I still am in the Ref´s ears, when it´s up with the health of my players, but I am not in their ear, if it´s up for Holding, or technical Calls. Just grin, thinking something like "incompetent a$$hole" and concentrate on the next playcall(s). That helped controlling the team and the game.
So Coach, forget the game. You got the W, I hope noone gets hurt, never think about some idiots, you cannot and will not change. Concentrate on your guys and keep up your work.

Coach, In our pre-season meetings, as well as our parent meetings, I always stressed, to both my assisatants, and the parents to lay off the ref's. I used to tell them that I know they suck, but if you get on them, They're still going to suck, except now they suck and are mad,..... at us...not a real good place to be.
I regret snapping on that ref, only because it cost my kids a W. but it was obvious he was intimidated, by the other team. The funny part about it is that team still does it, and they ge away with it every year.

Just grin, thinking something like "incompetent a$$hole" and concentrate on the next playcall(s). If and when I become a coach, I'm totally using this advice. Trying to coach myself in this technique, too- I no longer yell at the refs when I'm watching a game on TV! Lol Lol, great advice, I'll have to remember this one as well. |

I'd say what comes around goes around. To dish it if you can't take it. You probably didn't get any christmas cards from them last year anyway, so phuk em. Wouldn't be expecting any either, coach. |
