I just got back from officiating a girls JV game and I had a blast. There was no stellar play. The crowd was sparse, but I had a great time. To give you an idea of the caliber of game it was, the score was 5 to 4 at halftime. The players all had good attitudes. The coaches were cordial and my partner did not wear jeans. My partner and I talked at half time about avoiding overtime at all costs. I said I would do everything in my power to prevent it. He said that he would do everything in his power to see that it happened. He said that he would keep calling lane violations until the girl made a FT to tie the score. I said if he did that, I would call a double lane violation and go with the arrow. I can honestly admit that I had more fun doing this game than I did doing the boys championship game in a Christmas tournament last weekend. If you have a bunch of people with bad attitudes and don't care about anything, that's their business. If you add another person(an official) that doesn't care, How is that helping anything?
