Is this true?

Questions like, "Sir, can you explain that goalie interference call?" will be well-received during a timeout. Questions like, "Will you please just call goalie interference right?!" might get you a conduct foul. Questions like "Do you think you [bleep] [bleep] could pull your [bleep] heads out of your [bleep] for 3 seconds so maybe we could have a fair game?" will send you to the bus.

Questions like "Sir, my mother would like to know if you will take her to dinner after the game?" are also acceptable.

This really depends on the mother in question. I would certainly recommend handing the official her bio during this request and having the bio contain information such as marital status, number of children, yearly income, oh, and by all means, at least one picture of her in a bathing suit as well as an evening gown. If she is wearing a tiara in any of the pictures and a sash from th latest beauty pageant she was in, that couldn't hurt either. Sounds like this might be a player who plays dirty and is looking for a new daddy who is a referee and thereby might not call as many penalties on his new step-son in future games.

In regards to this stuff, and where it is going with asking officials questions... If a coach was ejected for stepping on the field, call it a power trip, it really doesn't matter its a blown call, who holds the official responsible in your areas of the country?

We report directly to God, or in my case the district assignor. If he hears complaints from coaches he will take it up with the official, and will certainly take it into consideration in future assignments.

It's the assignor.

I agree that ejecting a coach for stepping onto the field is over the top. It's a conduct foul—if you decide to call it. But depending on what the coach says while he's coming onto the field, an ejection may be just the right thing.

(BTW, if you're referring to my earlier post, I was making a joke and not saying that I would eject someone for stepping on the field).

LaxRef,
If the coach came steaming onto the field, fire in his eyes, and you immediately toss him from the game before he even gets a word out, would that be considered premature ejection??
