Tell me if I'm right about this..... last Tuesday night(4/12) I was called to officiate a weekend tournament(AS slow pitch) .I accepted then told our BA that I could not call this week because I was finishing up the men's league basketball tourney(I can only call Tues/Thur). He said okay. Well....cut to Friday morning. I called him as soon as I got through at the doctor's office and was told by the doc that I would need to stay in bed for a few days so I was cancelling for the weekend. I also wasn't able to go to our weekly meeting Saturday because of this.
I get to work Monday and one of my co-workers, who also happens to ump, hands me an assignment sheet. I proceed to get upset then I called the BA to tell him he had made a mistake and that I could not do any games this week because of it. He said that I NEVER TOLD HIM. I said that I did Tuesaday night and he insisted that I never told him. I did not tape my convo with him but,all last week,the umps that work with me knew I was doing basketball and I told them that I told our BA that night.
I called him back because he wanted me to turn in my basketball assignment to take the softball and I told him no plus I had already been paid for these basketball games.He said that he did not have anyone else but I told him that I did tell him about those games and it would not be fair to the basketball BA to cancel on him not to mention the fact that I love doing any kind of champ games in any sport ,any gender or any level.
Was I right in doing this? This BA books ASA ,HS and other spring sports /
