The game I had went OK. I'm a perfectionist so no game is good enough for me. The home coach began to beg for stuff when his boys started to get beat in the fourth quarter. The game was back and forth until then. He has one player that he can't control - he took him out of the game and tried to pat him on the back/butt as he walked by, the player was pissed and avoided the coach. I gave the same player a T the last time I had them.
I hate it when the game is managed well, both teams are playing through some things and then the coach/team on the losing end begin to direct blame at the end of the game. What's more alarming is when your partners -the assigner and former assigner - are oblivious to it.
Finally, the kicker is the fact that there is a boys round robin tournament today at another high school. Yep, you guessed it, I have the same team tonight. I said something to the assigner about it after our game. I don't necessarily agree with having the same team two days in a row when they lost last night. Don't get me wrong, they will get the best of what I have to give, but I don't really know if they would want to see me so soon.
