I feel your pain..........worked 1st game of the year last week and couldn't get my brain and whistle to work together. I would see a play, know I had to blow the whistle and couldn't get it to work. By the middle of the second quarter it was better and by half time I was "ok". Unfortunately, I was working my hometown MS girls game (as a favor to our AD who couldn't fill the spot) and I got a little grief this week from our coach. He told me that on a couple of plays to start the game he knew that I saw the play but I didn't blow the whistle. I explained to him that it was the first game of the season (rust) and he said "no problem, things like that happen when you get older "....... (he's 26 or 27 ). Wait till next time !!!
