Can’t recall refs being this incompetent as they were this year. Same 2-3 each week. The poor officials led to increase in parent coaches complaining which led to refs having zero patience for comments.
Listen, nobody should deal with verbal abuse, I get it, but if you blow a call, you are going to hear it. A few refs act like they not only detest lacrosse, but are there against their will.
Realize this has been a trend, but was there a specific game this past weekend that has sparked the commentary?
I’m not naming names here but yes, I believe a ref changed outcome of one game this weekend through several decisions to call or not to call fouls.
I think it was with malice and not incompetence.
That being said, like in all sports, you don’t want a ref to control a game, play better and take it out of their hands.
Refs are humans after all, they don’t take kindly to being told they are failing at their job.
