Had an unusual out of town double header last nite. Soph game followed by the varsity game. During the soph game I have an Intentional grounding...whent he qb throws the ball I look around see no one, ask my line judge if there is anyone in the area he says no, so I drop the flag...the qb uses the "I was out of the pocket" I remind him that we aren't in that league yet...but from beside the endzone I hear "why don't you wait a little longer to throw that flag"...low and behold it is the varsity head coach... from a fan, or from the soph coaches I wouldn't have had a second thought about this comment it would have gone in one ear and out the other...but the varsity coach standing there as a fan got my ire up...I said thats enough I don't want to hear any more...to which he asks what took so long to throw the flag, maybe I should have waited till tomorrow...I tell him if he wants to watch the rest of the game he needs to do so silently...and we go about the game... when I go to introduce myself to the varsity coaches before the game He says..."yeah I think we have already met...I will be on my best behavior.." so we had a laugh about it and all went well....well except that he got throttled....63-0 LOL.....
