What a fun Saturday.
9-10 year olds - we had at least 6 block-in-the-backs (most of which were borderline PF's), 5 or 6 more PF's, 3 or 4 USC's, one blatant RTP (on an interception, no less). On a long TD, had a PF BIB by defense, and as we're explaining to the coach after the XP, we generously got to add a USC on an assistant coach (kickoff from the 30).
2 plays before halftime, kid has hit the pile, but the pile is still moving slowly forward, so we don't stop it. Over the PA comes "These referees need to stop the play!"
We run 1 more play and go to the Announcer - "You're here to announce the game, not provide commentary about the officials." This was delivered professionally, but to the point. His response - "If you let my son get hurt because you won't blow the whistle, you're going to have a lot of trouble from me."
Buh-Bye. Should have had him walked to the parking lot, but didn't.
