You know, the kind of game where everything goes wrong and you, as a referee, look bad and worst, feel bad.

The kind of game where you keep rethinking, two or three days after the game, about those calls you should have made and did not make.

The kind of game that wants to make you quit refereeing.

Well, I got one of those.

The worst of it is that we both (the 2 referees) missed a girl kicking intentionnally another girl while being both tangled with the ball for a jumb ball (or possession arrow).The spectators saw it, another referee in the stands saw it, but we still both missed it. Therefore, we could not expel anyone.

Anyone of you live a similar situation? How do you cope with it? How do you motivate yourself to continue being a basketball referee?
