The game is over at 6:45 PM and at 7:05 the assigner is on my cell phone. In our discussion, he asked 4 questions.
1. Did he use foul language?
2. Did I warn him?
3. Would I call the same foul in my college games?
4. Did it make the game better?

Roy, that might just be the dumbest question ever asked by an assignor. There's a tremendous difference between college and JV games- i.e. different philosophies and different expectations of the participants. I can relate to the other 3 questions, but that one is just plain stoopid imo. Of course, you keep JV coaches on a much shorter leash than college coaches, and you take a helluva lot less from JV coaches too.
Personally, in a JV game I think that you shoulda warned him the first or second time he tried to work you, and not waited until well into the second quarter. That's also second-guessing on my part too though. I wasn't there. The bottom line is whether the "T" that you did call actually did get that coach and his team back to playing ball and got them to forget about trying to influence you. If it did, it was a good 'un.
