As
long as we are talking about best and worst coaches, here's another thread
that I'm not sure has come up, what coaches out there are the hardest on the
refs?
Although I have seen some very funny things in my time as I'm sure we all
have, some of the best coach/referee interactions I've seen have come from
Steve Grimit, the head coach at Saint Cloud State University. I have seen
him absolutely abuse the ref, sometimes carrying on a 10-30 minute
conversation with himself while walking the side of the mat, but it's loud
enough so the ref could hear, about a bad call in his opinion. An abnsolute
delight to watch and listen to.

As a
FILA official, I find it a disgrace the way the coaches talk to the
officials. It is the reason that I do not wear the "Zebra" suit. I would
rather walk around looking like a bad "Good Humor" man than have to deal
with the utter bullshiite that goes on Matside in college nad high school.
Most NCAA officials officiate for the money. The same reason these officials
do not wear whites(cause they don't get paid.) I would rather pay my own
way, then have to deal with the dolt mentioned in the previous posting and
many others. I have thought about donning the stripes, then I watch a high
school or college match and think otherwise. |

You
have a strange (or at least different) idea of what constitutes a delightful
experience. I've always found that unpleasant to be around. |

Did
anyone see two years ago at Vegas when the coach jumped on the back of the
ref(zigman), and started to choke him out? Ziggy was assistant, and the head
ref stopped the match and just started laughing. I have no idea who the
coach was.

I
will make this short..it is funny though..I was officiating a local
freestyle tournament in Tucson, AZ on a Saturday AM...the kids were no more
than 6 years old and 40lbs..one kid, had the other kid in a headlock
position, pinning him, I mean I am 2 feet from the kids, looking into the
pinned kids eyes, making sure he is OK, doing my job right...he is scared,
cause he is getting pinned..I mean how tight can a 5 yr old kid keep a
headlock??..When all of a sudden I get Barrelled over by this rather, I mean
very, rotund Lady...It is his mother....She starts yelling at me, "my son,
he is choking to death and pulls the other kid off her son" I called the pin
and laughed..It was the craziest thing that has ever happened to me on the
mat |

I
had to give her two for back exposure. I then DQ'd her for wearing heels on
the mat.
