Go to Post What I’m trying to say is that you should not necessarily be looking to build the next “cool” thing, unless that’s your team’s goal and you’ve got the resources to finish it by ship date. - Bill Gold [more]

Re: Where's the Gracious Professionalism?

I agree that it is terrible to lose in situations like that. However I think GP also means having compassion to try and understand the entire situation whether you're involved or standing at the sidelines. I mean at SVR, I'm sure that the head ref feels terrible about the situation that he had to resolve. But the response to his decision was immediate name calling and blaming him when it was found out later that the information on what call to make came from HQ. It's just something to think about. A lot of refs understand what it's like to be on a team. Those who had to make decisions on the fly and had to do their best and then come home to face such negativity, name calling and general rudeness I'm sure won't be willing to come back next year. It's a bad experience on both sides which is what I'm trying to help people understand.
