My Son (13 years old, almost 14) will begin his officiating career next weekend. We've probably had about 6 months of pregamming and rule book reading. He's seen several of my games (sure hope I didn;t screw him up to bad). I decided to have him bring our to video recorder last week and tape a game. This would serve several puposes as I could watch myself and make adjustments and he could talk into the tape whenever he had questions. We had a great time with it.
Here's the funny part...he stood at the top of the bleachers tableside. There was 2 Dads whom you could hear jack jawing about the officiating all game long. I wish I knew how to post some of the tape so everyone could hear some of their comments. They yelled probably the to 7-8 rule myths. 1st foul call of the game is against the team they are rooting for, they yell "let em play". 2 trips and we're at the other end and A1 initiates the contact but not enough for a foul and they're screaming for the foul call.
In my book, these 2 fans win the HOMERS OF THE YEAR AWARD!!
