Thanks Coach; flying out Thursday morning
I have to agree... the officials on the field aren't perfect and won't always be able to make a perfect call. While refs can be an influence on the outcome of a given game, we can't exactly 'control' them so you've just got to live with that fact.
Refs can and will make mistakes but I don't think they are out there deliberately trying to sway a game one way or another. It's not about bad officiating or under-qualified officials (though I won't say there isn’t a handful of those out there) but about basic human nature -People make mistakes. Refs can only make half the people happy, half the time. We can't just decide that the officiating is getting worse and worse every time we see a bad call.
