An open letter to the refs of my daughters' game this afternoon

[Demonpenz]

So you hate when people yell "CUT HIS ****ING HEAD OFF!" at Ku games, but you yourself can't control your mouth. cool

I didn't use any vulgarity, and I don't use vulgar language around kids I coach. I stood up and told the refs that they are hurting my kids and the other teams kids by failing to call travelling time and time again. I got one T and excused myself from the gym.

I have no idea what one has to do with the other, but if the quantum leap in logic suits you, you're more than welcome to it.

Not saying that your version is full of shit at all...that sure sounds like something that would cause you to "excuse yourself from the gym" in a little girls' basketball game. You should probably re-think a few things if you draw unsportsmanlike fouls at Brownie basketball games. It's bad enough if the head coach negatively impacts the outcome of a game due to sportsmanship issues. It's somehow worse when it's an assistant to the coach.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you weren't there. I'm not saying I did the right thing, but I'm not ashamed. I left on my own accord, and I wasn't kicked out of the game.

Regarding the unsportsmalike call, as I mentioned before, I was vocal trying to protect my kids. Ref took issue with the volume of my voice, and threw the flag.

I don't expect you to understand. The whole athletic competition thing might not be cerebral enough for you.

I'm going to have to defer to your superiority on this one. I don't grasp the enormity that is the struggle of girls in braces vying for basketball supremacy. I was only a D-2 athlete, and my endeavors weren't even important enough to boast about on a message board.
