And I agree with ndfbfan that less and less people are going into coaching partly for that reason. And less and less people stay in coaching for long once they have a taste of it. It is too bad.

To some extent maybe. However, those refs can return to their job the next day and life goes on. A coach has to face those kids and parents on an almost daily basis. Those parents are their neighbors, business owners etc... This is from a small town point of view of course. I do understand what you are saying though. But again, it's one night for the refs(for the most part) I'm sure it may happen though and you are right, it may affect some of their decisions to ref or not. People say, "ya, I understand how tough it must be to coach and take all the crap" but unless you've done it, you truly have no idea. I've had calls from parents while my wife and I are eating dinner. Thank goodness for caller ID. I've also had a parent call at 10:00 at night!! Not a big deal for me, but wife gets up early for work and is usally asleep by that time. It just gets ridiculous after awhile. Darned if you do, darned if you don't type situation.
