Actually, Rut, you can speak for me, too, on this particular subject. Officiating basketball is the best way to calm my mind and put the day behind me. There is only one time in 10 years that I can recall thinking about my personal life during a game, and even then, I was able to call a good game.
That's not to say that I always call a good game. I've called bad games, and I have also called games where I did ok, but I knew that I was not as sharp mentally as I should be.
This might be what the original poster saw: a ref having an off night.
