I can see where you are. Years ago, for the experience and the $5.00 a game it provided, I agreed to do the YMCA mens' Sunday afternoon league, in my home town. Everyone knew me. I was inexperienced, impressionable, greener then hell, and afraid to get yelled at. Boy, was I in the right place! Actually, it was good for me in that it taught me how to handle adversity; a lesson I, and every officials needs to learn. Some 20 years later, I have learned yet another valuable lession: your better officiated games are the ones where no one knows you. Anonymity is a blessing in officiating
