Thoughts anyone? BTW ...I'm a newbie here 1st year ref and loving it!!!!

Jon, plays for his father. His father used to be the boys' H.S. varsity coach at Gibsonburg (Ohio) H.S., and has a reputation of being a wild man on the sideline; two years ago he served an OhioHSAA two (2) game suspension for being ejected from a game that he was coaching.

When we moved back to Ohio from Los Angeles, I joined the Wood Co. Bkb. Off. Assn. While his was at Gibsonburg H.S. I officicated his team's four (4) times and never had a problem with him. People are flabergasted that I never came close to giving him a technical foul in those games. It was easy. During my first year as a member of the WCBOA I and officiated a scrimmage game for him along with the WCBOA's secretary (Daryl ("The Preacher" Long) and president. Early in the scrimmage I made a charge call against one of his player's and he went ballistic on me. I stopped him dead in his tracks and told him that I would not tolerate such conduct by a coach in a scrimmage game and he had better back on the sideline and coach him team. He was speechless. I never had a problem with him after that even though I know many officials who says he is still a terror on the sidelines.

Hey, consider yourself officially initiated. Just remember, there are some guys that don't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' They also don't know the meaning of 'funny,' 'humorous,' or even 'mildly amusing!'

I'm going to start a line of "Live Jon" yellow bracelets. And, for those who want to follow in his footsteps, we will be offering a line of WWDD (What Would Diebler Do) necklaces.

Jon was not such a man. I heard he wrote the pilot for a sitcom due out next year on Fox. Anyone know the name?

Almost, but not quite. I've got next week off since I'm going to Denver for a week of playing Air Force. When I get back, I have two games left as of now (might get a few more, but the 6 year old is ready to spend more time with her dad, so I won't take too much.)
