Later I whistle A2 for a blocking foul. Apparently he thought it was a charge so it took him a second to realize I had the foul on him. As soon as he does, he starts arguing. It takes him a few seconds, but he eventually drops an F bomb on me too. Whack. He goes nuts, rips his jersey off and slams it down. Whack again, he's done. Then the rest of the game, the first guy didn't shut up, and if there weren't two minutes left in a blowout game, I would have had Officer Friendly escort him outside.

Fun game.
Bas,

That sounds like a great for an intramural official for someone who has been around a while. I actually am still in college and work intramurals for my campus and I can remember being in situations like through out my young career. Those experiences that I got from work both intramurals at my college at numerous extramural tournaments that I did have helped me out a lot with my game today and it has also made me a more confident person in life.
