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?

This is an example of where we r today as a society. Suggestion: whenever someone say something to you as stupid as these two just repeat it back to them... so let me get this straight. I'm out here away from my family working 5 games that are normally worked by three doing a job that can not be judge by the bias eye. and you are suppose to be neutral and a manager not a peacemaker. Either you want me to do my job and get through this and u do yours or you can continue to try to please everyone and ref these yourself. Ur chioce. Either way you will pay me.
hint; whenever u ref one stand on the coaches side of the floor. That way you see everything they see.
