I don't know what happened other than what was said on here. I didn't mean to imply in my post that the official posted something on social media. Although, I can see how I wrote it would make it sound like it. I did see the post on social media. Without knowing all the facts, it's easy to assume that the educator was out of line from that one post. Maybe that person said everything the post said that they did, I don't know, but I think if you have a problem, go to the source.Crab's Brother wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:46 amThe official took it to the AD immediately. He did exactly what he should have done and the school reacted immediately. It was taken to social media by someone that thrives on attention and clicks. So do not jump to a conclusion about the official. That young man didn't do a darn thing wrong.wobycat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 9:31 amThe official probably should of reported to the AD immediately after it happened, and then not post it on social media. The burg incident was posted on social media. That's not necessary. If you have a problem with someone, get in touch with them.transplant wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 6:48 am I think everyone is in agreement that fans get carried away. Sure, some complaining about calls is going to happen every game. The refs are human and they make mistakes too. The problem is when they take it too far and cross the line. Following the refs to their area is unacceptable at any level. There needs to be something in place for this type of behavior. A fine or suspension maybe? If this continues to happen, someone will get hurt.
Just giving my opinion dog. Best way to stop the hate in response to bad calls is stop making bad calls. Short of that I recommend the following: Stop laughing at the spectators. Stop responding, “I’ll never call it now…” Stop going into games looking for someone to throw out. Stop grinning and shaking your head “no” when a call is questioned. I could go on but many officials bring the wrath upon themselves. Yes the extremes you mention are never acceptable. But I contend that a lot of the aggressive behavior is stoked by arrogance displayed by the officials in many cases.clevelandbrowns#1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:57 am D1,

DOG? I can't respond what I want to because of the penalties that I would face. You keep on showing up and watching all of those bad calls. Officials laughing at spectators, the last thing officials want to have to do is remove spectators--if the admin. would do their job we wouldn't be facing these issues. We bring the wrath upon ourselves-yes, that's what we are trying to accomplish. Thank you for your support---come on down and help us out--classes are offered every year and we need some great officials like you to help us.
I think something that the officials could do, not sure how to implement it, is just to temporarily suspend the game. Maybe send both teams to the locker room, officials have pa announcer address the crowd, and walk off the court. Maybe one 5 min per half. After 3rd offense, game suspended for the night.baseball16 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:38 pm I said it in another post but the following things need to happen to get a little more control of the situation:
1. Administrators need to control their crowd. Not just stand in a corner of the gym or hallway. When someone is acting out have a conversation with them. Probably be a little uncomfortable I am sure but it's the job.
2. Law enforcement issue tickets for disorderly conduct
3. Suspend bad behavior for 2 or more games
4. Suspend bad behavior for the remainder of the year or longer.
It is not the officials job to police the crowd. It is not the crowds responsibility to police the crowd. In vermont a 60 year old man was killed in a fight at a basketball game. Control what we can control and everyone respect everyone and the games will go smooth, however once that balls goes in the air it seems to change.
Dog, with all the crying and boo hooing you do on here it seems you can’t handle it LOL. Every year you tell us how great you are and about the insurmountable effort it takes to be an official and how agonizing it is. If it’s so bad go do something else instead of crying and complaining on here every season. Of course you’re never wrong so I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I’ve never seen anyone with a higher opinion of themselves than you so I’ll give you that. Now go give yourself a pat on the back for telling us how great you are. Keep up the good work dog and I’ll await your complaining, crying and boo hooing posts next season.clevelandbrowns#1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:00 pm D1,
Hey Cat, your talking about officials that I don’t know. The officials I know and work with aren’t perfect nor do they claim to be.I can tell you this, I love officiating and put up with no crap from coaches, players and spectators!! I can also say that I am respected by many I work for. I’m just doing a thankless job that evidently you couldn’t handle. Thanks for your support!

It never fails that every year an official gets on here and makes a post like this. It never changes a thing. Nothing gets better and in fact I would contend that things have gotten worse based on the comments. So to you officials who make these posts you’re wasting your time. Instead of making posts bashing spectators, law enforcement and school employees, just tell how hard you work and how hard it is to be an official and leave it at that. Now that’s not much of a recruiting strategy, but it has to be your real motive for posting because you have to see like I do that your rants are having zero effect on the problem you complain about year after year after year…*D1* wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:46 pmDog = Dawg Pound = Cleveland Browns.

Hey I wouldn’t expect an official to take any responsibility here, or anywhere for that matter. Everyone knows officials are never wrong. However, I can honestly say everything I mentioned are actions I’ve personally witnessed. Additionally, I always appreciate when a discussion like this takes place that at some point a wise asszed know it all official is going to throw out the go to, “classes are offered every year…” Its a classic and always expected. FYI I did officiate previously and got out of it because of officials acting the way I mentioned and many like you who are all knowing and never wrong. So as for the class, I’ll give the same response you would if someone said to you, hey how about you trying to get better, no thanks.
I LOVE this comment. If number 1 is done ----- a LOT of things will calm down.baseball16 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:38 pm I said it in another post but the following things need to happen to get a little more control of the situation:
