While most refs do a good job under the circumstances, there are refs with grudges and power trips. We had an experience with on of those in Ottawa this past weekend. Our kid was in a head lock that appeared to have no arm. we were pointing it out to the ref, he kept saying there was an arm. While he was arguing, our kid put both palms down on the mat, while still in the headlock that supposedly had an arm in it. The ref refused to admit his error. Later in the match our kid was being choked, the ref again did nothing about it, (admittedly this time it was a judgement call) at the end of our match the boys father and a coach turned to me and said "that was bullshit". The ref then kicked him out of the tournament. While the language should not have been used, under the circumstances, the ref only through the coach out because of his own power trip. The missed call was huge, not so much in the match but for the safety of our kid. Most father's/coaches would tend to let their emotions overtake them when there is potential danger to their son. We had 2 kids in the finals, that had to wrestle without their coach, at least in part, because this young ref needed to show his power. By the way, for the rest of the tournament this ref gave dirty looks to anyone with our clubs shirts on, very mature and professional.
