Ref Daddy,

I totally agree with your last point. Last night I worked a Varsity Boys game. Visitors were up by 14 with 2 1/2 minutes left and lost by 2. The V coach was upset with us the entire final 2 minutes. After the game my partner remarked that if the coach quit worrying about us and coached his team the final 2 minutes he probably would have won. In the last 2 minutes of the game his team threw away about 4 passes (I mean, directly OOBs) and his team got called for 2 PC fouls because they continued to play extremely up tempo. I'm not judging them, but I thought my partner's comment was interesting and a good one for me (I coach soccer so I will remember that).
