by all means please come help.. now please be aware. you will have to call the game on the floor. not in the stands where the best angle is. Again I ask, what about all the calls they get right?  and thanks for sending in your money to start officiating. your uniform will cost you 200 and fees 250. Gas is cheaper now so the 2 hour drive wont cost to much. tell your family good bye for 4 months. and please enjoy fans like you USED to be. They are priceless.

 

Let's just cast your vote for setting the bar low and anytime you get a game where there is more whistles good than bad it's a good game.

Just my two cents but in the last few years I had taken on administrative duties and was the game administrator at over 30 middle school basketball games. There were several games that I worked in which the refs acknowledged that the fans cause them to think long and hard about continuing to call games. This was just in talking to them when giving them their checks before or after games. It is a real thing with a lot of refs. In that regard I did everything in my power to remove fans who could not act appropriately. Refs appreciated that. 

I completely agree with where your post is leading... There's much room for improvement in "fan etiquette". Whenever and wherever possible, I choose carefully where I sit/stand, and whom I'm around, because the color of the uniform affects the judgement of most people regarding the rules, and most feel that the price of admission gives them the right to criticize the officials, coaches, and players.

   I'm not complaining about officiating in general, just when bias against coaches or players is obvious, when game situations affect calls made or not made, and when unprofessional behavior is displayed without consequences.  

   I know personally several officials, and consider myself pretty close to a couple of them... most readily admit (without my asking) that they miss calls in the moment, and I have rarely heard them critique their co-workers performance. I also know that they have co-workers that they don't like working with, because their jobs are made much more difficult by the fan's reactions to those refs and their actions.

I totally agree with you. There are some refs that need improvement just like some fans. It’s a two way street.

I have seen players this year hit in the face (no call), hit in the face (technical, when it should be an ejection), kneed below the belt, kicked while down, elbowed to the throat, no call on these either, among others when it appeared all three were looking that direction. Unless it's a clearly obvious foul at a crucial point in the game, most fans won't go overboard over a missed travel or such here and there. Inconsistency on hand checking and such does get tiring but It's the things that risk injury that cause the loudest uproar, when they're overlooked by refs who seem to just want to get the game over. 

Indian,

Sounds like you were a attending a Battle Royal Wrestling Event

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
