Had It Happen To Me
I haven't told anyone but my wife. Partner been reffing for about 15 years. Won't go to the meetings/clinics so he stays at Frosh/JV level. He is okay with that. Gets home early etc. tied up ,roughly 20 seconds to go, Time out. He comes to me and says jokingly ???? there will be no overtime. He calls a foul at buzzer. It was in my area, he hasn't reached all night,actually he was a pretty good ref, then tweet. I didn't see anything close to deserving a whistle. I dunno. Kid hits the second one. game over. Coach is livid at my partner.
I am squarely in the camp of most important game is the one I am working. To seperate myself from the money refs (and all that that implies) I really make sure to Work really hard, hustle and stay professional during those 22-19 Frosh girls games. It is starting to pay off. My ratings are are coming in just below ready to be a Varsity ref.
