THIS FALL I WAS DOING A GIRLS GAME WHEN THE FANS AT ONE END OF THE COURT START IN ON COMMENTS ABOUT ME BEING A FEMALE OFFICIAL. I'M ABLE TO HANDLE THEM UNTIL THE COMMENT CAME "YOU MUST NOT BE A GOOD REF UNLESS YOU WEAR A SPORTS BRA." AT WHICH POINT I GIVE THE TEAM A TECHNICAL AND PLAY GOES ON WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. AFTER THE GAME THE COACH ASKS ME WHAT WAS SAID AND TELLS ME I SHOULD HAVE JUST STOPPED THE GAME AND HAD THE KIDS REMOVED. I HOWEVER DON'T AGREE WITH THIS, THESE KIDS KNOW BETTER THEN TO SAY THINGS LIKE THAT AND BY JUST HAVING THEM REMOVED I BELIEVE THAT NOTHING WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE THE ADMIN. THIS WAY I NOT ONLY GOT THE KIDS ATTENTION BUT EVERYONES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
Hey you guys got a rule that allows you to T a team or coach when fans get ugly.
Boy do all refs need that.
