This is one of the reasons I got out of officiating Men's Adult Rec League. I was becoming as much of a jerk as they were.
For example, if a grown Man had said that to me...I would have responded with somehting like, "Your stupid A$$ trying to make a lay-up"!...then I would have whacked him and told him to shut the He11 up or go home and watch cartoons.
When I broke in as a Rookie about 17 years ago...rec ball had it's place. I watched as some top H.S. officials, at the time, really did become mean-spirited toward Men's rec ball players. I vowed not to become like that...but, I found myself doing some of the exact same things the other guys were doing.
Therfore, time to get out...it wasn't fun anymore and I was acting unprofessional.
I still love H.S. ball and will continue doing it untill it isn't fun anymore.
