I, too, used to be hard on officials when I coached. Then I took time to get to know them and realized they were all good guys who sometimes missed a call, or I was just looking at things one sided. But anybody who thinks it is easy should just try to officiate a little league game or a junior high game. A lot tougher job than it looks. I even see college and pro refs miss some calls, so should we expect more from a high school ref? These guys have jobs and are away from their families a lot during the season, probably because they enjoy it and like to stay close to the game.
