I can sympathize. I just hope that some of my partners don't think that I'm as big a "yo-yo" as I have thought some of them were. Let me state that I've worked with some very very good officials. And then, there were the other ones. I worked with one guy who makes good calls, but he literally scares the girls to death before the game. He blows everything from the floor, will beat you (R) to a whistle every point. He screams out the numbers for substitutions loud enough that everyone can hear him all over the gym and he has a personality as stiff as a 2X4. I had another partner one night who must have just been there to get a check and go home. Like Big Toe, we work direct with the ADs in both states where I officiate, so often you may meet someone for the first time when you get to the gym. But on those nights when you get a good combination and things are really clicking and everyone watches his/her area and when the players have great digs, long rallies, pretty sets, big kills... oooh on those nights it is sooooooooooo much fun!
