I'll jump in with my good Friday night game (up in the UP, Mick). Boys JV/V double-header. When I got to the school I found out that none of the officials on the crew had worked with each other before. JV game went good, had a few kinks but overall was a good game.
When the V game came around the three of us looked like we had been working together for years. Very physical game, everything with us clicked, no T's, and the coaches really didn't have anything to complain about. We had a special treat in the second quarter, one of the Visiting players scored his 1,000th career point. The Home coach was very supportive and even gave permission to stop the game so this kid could be honored, which I thought was a very classy move.
I enjoyed doing that game so much that when I got home I gave my wife a big hug and said thank you for letting me do this. I was still thinking about what a great game that was when I woke up on Saturday.
These kind of games are the reason I ref.
