soccerboy you raise an interesting point about coaches needing to referee to appreciate that perspective. How about this for a trade off?
I know when I would sit on the sidelines and watch my son's team play, the thing that would infuriate me the most was when referees felt like they had to "coach" the game as well. And this is in U14-U18 levels. There is a particular jack-leg in Columbia that feels he has to be the main attraction. Ironically, he headed up SCYSA for a long time. This guy would prance around and "coach" the players while not allowing the real coaches to comment from the sidelines.
Not only a poor administrator, but a terrible ref!
