Thanks, years ago that guy was me, so I remembered.

Funny, yesterday I had a partner for some kids games and he must have had a six pack of redbull and 40oz expresso before the game. He was all over my area, doing counts as the lead on the weak side, grabbing calls in back court as the new lead and a host of other annoying traits . He's been reffing for 3 years and clearly wanted to be 'Da Man' I debated saying anything to him and decided to ask him respectfully at half time if I could comment on something. To my surprise, he was all ears and we had a good dialogue on quick whistles and trusting your partner. Quick whistle is something I constantly have to focus on so I told him I do the same thing.


We wound up having a good afternoon.
