I was working a two man freshman A game, and I was working with someone of advanced age (79 years old) and he was obviously not running nor throwing any flags. So the coach on his sideline comes to me and tells me that I need to stop calling any penalties because the guy on the other side is not calling anything and I am cheating him out of plays by calling holding or DPI. Well, if that was not bad enough, he then comes out to tell me that the guy across from me has missed 10 calls against the home team, and I am obviously being biased for them because I am on their side of the field, "I wonder how much they are paying you?" he says. I throw the flag, and he tells me he was wondering about the pay rate I was getting and that I should get double because I was doing all the work...Yeah right. This was all during a series of time outs. My only thinking was, why the heck is he yelling at me and not the other guy!
