[QUOTE=MCBear]Ref, prior to the match ALWAYS check the pressure in the game ball. I have had them be anywhere from 2-1/2 p.s.i. to 9 p.s.i. Also, you should have a handy ball pump in your reffing kit. That way you don't have to wait while someone else takes that ball to the PE office to put more air in it.

---------------------------------------
Even if I had a small ball pump with me, with 35 seconds left, I'm letting the coach run to the coaches room 55 feet away where there is an electric pump with an automatic gauge to air up two balls.
