I think the hardest game to ref is the one where the coaches and parents are blaming the refs for the bad play. It doesn't matter what level it is. As long as the adults are holding the kids responsible for the game, it goes pretty well. But when the adults are yelling about how "that was a great play" even though she knocked the other player to the floor, and "bad call, ref, honey don't worry about it" the game just gets worse and worse.
Does it sound like I had a bad day at the gym?. ...
Don't worry, I'll feel better after I sleep it off (and talk to my assignor -- not you, Howard)
