1. You handled yourself well. You can’t help people who don’t want to be helped.

2. Wow, telling an assignor you don’t want to work with an official in a “wreck” league will affect Varsity assignments? Yikes! I’ve even gone so far as to tell my assignor a ref was an embarrassment to the league, I wouldn’t pay them due to their lack of effort (teenager – summer league) and I wouldn’t hire them back again - ever.

3. This is not representative of ALL new or “wreck” officials, but, it is my limited experience in my leagues, there are a good many who are in it for the money or whatever, and don’t take it as seriously as you – it can be very frustrating – I know! You do walk a very fine line. I’ve been frustrated like you before. Either work “wreck” ball or not – but, if you do, you are liable to see these folks around……..
