My season is going pretty good. In our Assoc. we get rated everytime we work by the varsity officials. My ratings are looking good, actually great for a 2 yr ref. So my head is all big and swollen. I can barely get it in some of the gyms. Rating me last night is a guy with a 25 years of experience and is just a very solid and competent ref. I want to do well.
At halftime he is talking about I need to close down as lead, better angles yada,yada. 2 minutes into 3rd Qtr. Player A drives, goes up, Player B gets all ball, great block, A comes back down still holding the ball. I see it, the game slows down to a crawl. I tweet. And then I give the signal for ....travelling. I still have no clue what prompted me to come up with travelling. After the screaming, laughing, fingerpointing, namecalling is done I just want to go back into the locker room and crawl in a smelly locker for the rest of the night. I finish the game . i hang around for the V game and they were cool about my kicked call. Basically they gave me the ugh kicked calls happen spiel and remember how it felt, and try not to do it again.
There I feel better now.
