My wife has a game against the defending state champs (Catholic League) last nite. ALso, the school is located about .5 miles from her school. She and the coach for them are good friends. She has done a lot to straighten up the attitudes of her girls, who had a deserved reputation as whiners and hackers.
So the game begins. Nip and tuck. One of the officials makes two calls in under 1 minute against her second best player. After she sits, same official two quick whistles on her best, and tallest player. Now both players are on the bench, home team in bonus, visitors, not close.
Going into the forth quarter, two more quick whistles on best player #2, followed by 2 more quick whistles. So the wifes stands up as the official comes over, questions the call, and the proceeds to tell the ref he is "full of crap". Yes a deserved T!! Her second in 14 years!!
Here is the kicker. Over the summer this official kept making comments about her players and how he did not like them and how he couldn't wait to get a game to "teach them a lesson!" I of course was two hours away working my own game. BUT I got the here the story, for two hours from my wife on the way home. Thank God for unlimited cell phone minutes!!
I told her to send an email to the supervisor and a copy of the tape. Having watched the tape she has some valid points, out of position, no hustle, etc. This should make for an interesting meeting if this guy follows me in a game!
