I agree. While I can certainly understand the frustration felt by the NECSA parents (and players), the Lexington coach has a responsibility to HIS team, not the NECSA team. In any other situation, sure, go with the (NECSA) refs on-hand. But, the outcome of that particular game decided whether Lexington plays at home next weekend or travels to Greenville.
Of course, his decision yesterday does not guarantee a win on Tuesday, but if he were to have gone ahead and played the game and lost, do you not think his parents would have raked him over the coals for that? You are complaining about driving from one side of Columbia to the other, while he is looking at the difference between playing at home and driving an hour and a half.
While it certainly was not a popular decision with a number of people (mostly NECSA parents), I can't necessarily say he made the wrong choice. That's why coaches get paid the big bucks - and, why I'm glad I don't have to make decisions like that.
Like Chico mentioned, maybe your anger is mis-directed.
