Are High School Sports Different These Days??
• Looking at the newspapers, we read stories such as:• Cheer parent in Texas shooting a cheerleader after
her own daughter did not make the squad.• A parent who comes out of the stands and attacks
an official after a game.• Two parents fight each other in the stands after
comments about which of their kids should be starting running back.
• A T-ball coach pays one of his players $25 to beat up a teammate with mental challenges so he wouldn’t be in the game for the league required three innings.
• A coach of a youth football team comes off the sidelines and hits an opposing player that clipped his son.
A Sure Sign of the Apocalypse…
• A 45 year old basketball coach at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Enola, PA. has been accused of trying to bribe referees to fix church youth league games!

Perception vs Reality• FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS
OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS.
• How is it that we can all look at the same thing and get different answers?
A Coaches Perception of Officials
• Arrogant• Inconsistent• Secretly pulling for the other team
• Lazy• Blind
An Officials Perception of Themselves
• Fast as the wind• Always in position• Never seen a call they didn’t like
• Could coach better than that coach
• Still attractive to teenage girls
A Fan’s Perception of Officials
• Idiot• Idiot• Idiot• Moron• Idiot
“OFFICIAL” FACTSBob Still, public relations manager for the NASO, which has more than 16,000 members
For every 100 that join up… 33 will quit after one year Another 33 will quit after two years
Losing two officials for every good one we find
WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN OFFICIATING? “They don't have the respect that was there when I
started 20 years ago.”“The rookie officials don't have enough time to mature
while officiating”. “Officials are expected to start perfect and get better.” “Kids are more in your face.”"Years ago, if a kid ever gave an official a hard time, the
first person that got into him was the coach”.“The second person was probably the parents.”“Now parents are coming to you after the game, running
you down to tell you "That was a horrendous call,' where they never did that before.”
EDUCATIONTarget our: Administration/Coaches/Parents/
Student-AthletesThere is really no difference in people,
we are all professionals Understand that our roles are differentDon’t confuse the rolesAs an AD/Coach/Parent-Model good
behavior and instruct and demand it from your student-athletes, coaches and parents
Changing our Perspectives• Perspective-Remember the F’s?• Coaches, parents, athletes and officials
each need to recognize what the other side looks like.
• Respect for the position.• We don’t tell…
– Farmers-Crops/Police-Investigations.– Dentist-Fillings/Lawyers-Practice Law.
• But in our society, it is okay to tell…– Coaches-How to coach/Teachers-how to teach.– Officials how to officiate.
