This is a FREAKIN JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS COACH FOR GODS SAKE. If the assignor did not fire you, or other assignors would not hire you, let it go. Who cares why he thinks you do not like him. That is his problem. If he wants to use your dislike for him as a crutch every game, then he is the one cheating the kids, not you or any other official.

3 reasons: 1. I have to live with these people. I can live with being thought of as a lousy official, but if someone wants to accuse me of being a lousy person without good reason, I see this as worthy of my attention.
2. $$$ We are paid travel based on the distance from the home of our association to the game location, regardless of actual distance traveled. Probably I am going to at least not be allowed to call close to home for a while. Now I will have to travel farther and be paid less.
3. Jr high is supposed to be the fun part. I have watched most of these kids play since their very first games, at ages 8 or 9. Watching them develop as players is something I consider priceless.

You shouldn't have reffed a game where one of the coaches was someone you know personally, outside of basketball. That's a bad move. Turn those back. We aren't allowed to work schools where we have children or family attending or working at those schools, or friends who are on the basketball staff. It's a recipe for disaster. You should have never been working that game in the first place.
