Stop Crying and take the loss like a man. What a bunch of crybabies, do they really think that accusing the refs of cheating for the other team is going to help them. What an idiot! then to bring up his father???
HC Ejection?
- Thread starter cavaliercharlie
- Start date
What the hell is ref abuse? It’s part of the job to deal with criticism. Refs deal with it once a week. Coaches get it 7 days a week. Refs need a little thicker backbone.

I was being sarcastic. Referring to the committee is ridiculous. He should be suspended.
Butter nut flavored meat sticks should be given to the Refs before during and after the game
I would suggest everyone read these articles. You says "Refs need a little thicker backbone" but then complain when you only see officials in their 60s.

As a football official I’d like to say yes, ref abuse is part of the job. Unfortunately So is being accused of cheating, having our lives and our families lives threatened and listening to criticism about how certain rules were applied that aren’t even high school football rules. Our backbones are very thick sir... or mam (in case you’re a woman I don’t want to offend) and we are there to give these young men and the coaches that put in their time everything we have. Ref and coach abuse do come with the hobby..,it isn’t our job.
So then quit crying.
It comes with both jobs .
Unfortunate yes but it happens . As an ex coach I can say 100 percent that I put up with more shit than any ref ever . It’s why I left .

If its why you quit then why do you think potential there is a problem with the numbers and quality of officiating? You just proved why numbers are dwindling and know the problem but will be the first to talk about poor officiating.
Having 27 years of coaching experience at the HS level (not in Delaware). I am surprised that DIAA even has to get involved in this. Where I came from our school board/board of education would have dealt with this within a day. No way would any coach be back on the field this season after behavior exhibited by either of the 2 coaches.
I coached for almost 30 years. Don’t miss it. While I was coaching I didn’t whine about the issues I stated. Being a coach or a referee is a tough job and not for everyone. You pretty much know that going in.
I left because of idiots like you and I’m glad I did. I think almost 30 years of dealing with morons like you classifies me as not a quitter. Wasted too much time raising other people s kids.
And how do you think officials feel when they deal with morons (coaches included) that don't know the rules. Sure some people can get over it and don't care about what people say but don't complain about officiating when you (not necesarrily you but fans in general) are negatively affecting instead of making it better.
Perfect ..always amazed that a district employee...coach...can act like a fool but state must reprimand...same district that would suspend or expel a student for same behavior...Smyrna should be ashamed and embarrassed....it is sad
Right you say these things but when the salt nut slips out your the first one to dive into the pant legs of others to taste it
What exactly happened that’s so bad? Head coach acted like a fool and got ejected (big deal) and assistant coach makes long rambling statement that really said nothing. Head coach suspended and I’m sure Marks got talked to and may face discipline.
But hey nobody says shit about the blown call.
Yeah I’d rather be a ref than a coach. You can’t lose.

What in the Wide Wide Sports is going on here?
There was a missed call, shocking.
A head coach over reacted to a call, it happens. He was ejected and I assume he is suspended for the next game. Just like what would have happened to a player.
The assistant coach was a little emotional and made a mistake. There is a proper way to address mistakes by officials and he should have used the appropriate channels. However, he did not commit a crime against humanity, he made a mistake.
All of us (except bummy) have said or done things that we regret. The key is to learn and move on. Because contrary to what some people may think at the end of the day I believe high school sports are about education. You learn from your mistakes and move on. Let this go.
