I see you got your wind back from last night. 
Most difficult level to officiate for me is Special Olympics.
Rules are vague.Team skills are all over the place.Coaches are untrained.
Yet Special Olympic is one of the most gratifying levels to officiate. Player and Coaches are happy to see you. Team play is the rule, not the exception.Each basket is a treasure to be remembered.

Mick: You are absolutely correct! I have Special Olympics this weekend from 9:00 - 1:00 on Sunday. I have done these games for 6 years (did Special Olympics soccer for about 10 years) and you get the greatest feeling doing these games. Some of my fellow officials will not do them because we don't get paid. IMHO that is flat wrong, but to each his own. I enjoy it and I will continue to enjoy it.
