Sports officials are hardly every given praise. They are not raised up on shoulders in victory, yet they are usually blamed for defeats. Today we touch on the reality of most sports outcomes are the direct effect of player performance and coaching decisions. "Stop Blaming the Refs" is a blog post on www.coachchriswoodside.com. Wrong calls can be made, as we are all human. Players and coaches make bad calls, yet officials are known to bear the brunt of a loss. Coaches should teach. Players should play the game and control the outcome. Fans should root on their team. Like most people, officials rarely will change their decision just because they are yelled at. Give them a break.
