Your posts put the blowout game philosophy into a good perspective.... I will definitely keep this in mind on the next "blowout" that I will undoubtedly and unfortunately be involved in.

Glad to hear that you're open to someone esle's opinion. We don't have to agree but we should all listen.
A game comes to mind that our crew worked about a week before Christmas. The home team was terrible while the visitors are the strongest team in the conference (lost the 4-A State Championship last year at the buzzer!). The halftime score was 36-7.
In the second half, we're basically trying to ignore as many minor violations and minor fouls by the home team as possible, without jeopardizing anyone's safety. In the 4th, the fouls are 8-3, visitors having 8 fouls. Guess what? The home coach still wasn't happy! I was just in awe that he couldn't see some of the things that we were letting his girls get away with. He didn't have a clue what was going on. If we had called it straight up, we probably would have had to run him. I've seen him coach since then and I'm convinced that there are a lot of things that he doesn't have a clue about.
