Hmm...thinking of picking up another activity (cheerleading) if this referee thing doesn't work out?
It's interesting to hear the book says they should not stand during live ball situations. I have yet to see a cheerleader do anything BUT stand during the entire game, except, of course, when they're doing their flips and things during the full timeouts. I usually ask nice, and most of the time they move aside when they're in the spot I want to be, but I've always wondered it had more to do with my deodorant.
Most of the time I have very little contact with cheerleaders, but in a recent game my partner had to almost restrain one from coming on the floor. Apparently she had an issue with a fellow from the other team who had, perhaps, fouled a good friend of hers a little too hard. A quick step in front of her, and a couple of comments from her colleagues got her back under control. It's good to have a woman who's willing to protect her man, right?
