My daughter is a starter for the local high school varsity team. Her mother in an experienced coach at another school and keeps the book at my daughters away games. I don't get to see as many of her games as I would like because of my schedule. But when I do; I FIND IT HARD TO SIT WITH THE OTHER PARENTS. A few will ask explanations of calls which I am glad to explain, but most comments are just embarrassing to me as an official. I also hear a lot of "I wish you were reffing this game" to which I reply "One call you don't like and I will get the same treatment you are giving these guys/ladies".
You can bet that a coach, ref, and player all living under the same roof provides some interesting diolog. Fortunately we have learned to co-exist.
To change the subject just a little: Do any of you operate under similar conditions? Got any stories to tell?
