Men's league did me in. After a particularly bad experience a couple of weeks ago, I'm shutting it down and re-evaluating whether or not I ever want to officiate another basketball game. I'll see how I feel after going to a clinic in the summer and when next season approaches, but as of right now, I don't particularly care to ever pick up the whistle again.

I have been there, my friend. There are two games that stick out in my mind as being points when I really, really questioned whether I ever wanted to do this again. One was a church game, and one was a mens rec game.
The first time, it was lucky that I had some other games already scheduled, or I would have retired. No doubt about it. The mens game was in my second year, and I had enough experience by then to know that game was an abhoration.
Go to the clinic. Work some non-mens (meaning more mature) games, and I'll bet the enthusiasm returns.
