Well, sort of. A player listed in one of my previous posts was in several rec leagues and elite leagues that I reffed, and then on a state-championship hs team, and is now at Stanford. Her senior year in hs, I was supposed to ref a youth tournament at her hs (it was a fund raiser for them) and there weren't enough refs. She took the floor and worked with me. It was really fun because she was (probably still is) a very, very nice girl, and she tried hard to be a good ref. Asked me a lot of questions, and really tried to do what i told her. We did a couple of games together. Later in the season she saw me and told me she'd had a lot of fun and that she really would ref later when she couldn't play anymore. We'll see if she does.
