Hindsight being that, I would have liked to call the last games myself. I think it would have created less headache. Life lesson learned. Also thanks for the replies, this is a great forum.

There are lots of people who think they can referee. The stands are full of them. There are even some who have "refereed," sometimes quite a bit. But, as you learned, most of those people can't, and really haven't. Wearing a whistle does not make a person a referee any more than sleeping in the garage makes a person an automobile.
