Florida Gators coach Urban Meyer fined $30,000 by SEC for criticizing officials - ESPN

I am a great fan of Urban Meyer and understand his wanting to protect his quarterback Tim Tebow, but public criticism of officials is simply "out" in our book.

Everyone should do their job. Players play. Coaches coach. Officials officiate. That's it.

When the officiating is bad, there are enough other people around who see it, and comment about it. Frankly, from what we have seen, most officials are more competent at their job than the players or the coaches are at theirs. Each to his own.
