I know I have echoed that statement many a times. Unfortunatly its much easier to talk than it is to do.

You know the universal thing that I have foudn in my years of officating is that any coach/spectator who has ever actually stepped out on the mat to officate almost never complains about officals again, the obvious exception being gutwrench.

You learn that officials make the calls they have to, every now and then we blow a call or miss one, but life must go on, and complaining about it will never fix the problem.
