Quote: Bobby Knight was not coaching children. A person who is employed by a school district to work with, coach, teach children should conduct themselves as such.
The refs are also employed by the school district. The refs also work with children. The refs are responsible for the safety of the children on the pitch. If a bus driver was negligent in protecting the children in his or her care, he or she would no longer be a bus driver. But if you point out to a ref that JOB 1 is the safety of the children on the pitch, you are carded for "behavior unbecoming." And who is there to challenge? I may have to video the rest of my games this year.
Did you really just compare the job of the ref to the job of a bus driver? BTW...the refs are independent contractors...they are not employed by anyone. If they were, we could fire them.
