My pet peeve here is that I had an R box us in with this during the coach's meeting. "Coach, as long as you're coaching, we're probably not going to notice you." This guy is a varsity ref (this was a jv game) who does some college; only doing jv because he had to in order to work playoffs.
When he mentioned it to the guys coming to work Varsity, I could tell they were just as annoyed.
