In your post right here you made reference to one sides refs as a reason the score was possibly lopsided. I didn't make that up. I've coached thousands of games and I will tell you anytime a team loses, parents are the first to day "the refs cheated us". That excuse is tired. So you think a referee for a high school game comes in and says I'm going to cheat for this team? For what reason? What would be their purpose? They don't care who wins or loses. Next time you watch a game and a call is made that you disagree with, think am I disagreeing with it because it goes against my daughters team, or did I have a good look at it from the stands. When I coached I've turned to my parents who are complaining about the refs and making asses of themselves, to shut up and if they didn't like it they could leave the gym. Refs don't care. Scoreboard operators don't care. Players win and lose games
First off, I never made the claim " one side refs was the reason anyone loss at any time " I was searching for the possible excuse or reason "anyone else " would use for such a lopsided score. So
don't get it twisted !
Anyone that knows me knows I have never yelled out at refs for cheating during or after a game from CYO to the NBA. I may comment on what I believe to be a bad call, bad calls, or a poorly officiated game.
Refs are human. Humans make bad calls. To sit here and say refs (whether cheating or not) don't many times make a bad or the wrong call that can often be one sided is
living in denial. This conversation
is not taking place on television, it is taking place in the
real world. So you are getting to
hear all sides. I don't use refs cheated or refs made bad calls as an excuse, On the contrary
I use it as motivation to wrap the ref(s) up in the pending ass whipping with the team being played.
To answer your question the purpose could be.... the refs are human, the refs were not very good ( like coaches, parents, and players some are better than others), the refs are related to someone in or around the team, the refs like one team a bit better than another, the refs are intimidated by one of the coaches, the refs just had a bad day making calls, the refs got upset at one of the coaches and decided to make a few calls against that coach as a way to punish the coach, one coach worked the refs better than the other coach, some refs call a game tighter than others, and finally some refs actually do and have cheated. Those are a few realities but sure there are more.
To say all refs are good is to say all people are since refs are pulled from the human population. Refs are no different than teachers (who some have been found to have dated children which is inappropriate), doctors (who have been sued for malpractice and/ or inappropriate behavior),
police officers ( who have used their position to rob, lie, steal and kill), to priest (who have been found to have molested children and had affairs as have politicians, and the list goes on.......
But again "I never have and never will use refs cheated or refs made bad calls
as an excuse a team wins or losses" What do you think "
Win Anyway " means? Because I know most refs try to call a good and fair game. But the truth is there are games where the officiating sucks from CYO to the NBA.
