8th gr boys tourny, actually it's tryouts for their school district, so they play 5min running qtrs... I'm working solo since thats all they pay for, 5th game of the day, during an intermission, the "director" comes up to me and informs me that parents are complaining that I'm not calling all the contact and that I should start calling more fouls, because if I don't have the game more under control someone is going to get hurt. I explained what incidental contact was and she walked away. minutes later another director comes up, (by the way neither of these "directors" even had the courtesy or professionalism to introduce themselves prior to the game starting). so this director walks up says don't you know this is competitive basketball and we feel you don't belong out here and we are going to take step 2 and either you can leave or go to the other gym where its less competitive. all this has been said right smak in front of all the fans. after finishing the qtr, I discussed it with the official on the neighboring court and he suggested that if the directors were not supportive I should just leave.
So I did.
ever seen that happen?
by the way, I've been reffing for years....
