I also learned a few things from him and I believe he is better than me in a few things but I still no more rules than he and have the gray hairs of experience. Several other refs took some extra time out to come over and encourage him to carry on. This was appreciated. I looked at this opportunity as a blessing.
My dad and I started out together this year. I've reffed a few games with him, and I enjoyed and I think he did too. He doesn't have as much time to ref right now because he's working on his doctorate, but hopefully over the summer and next winter we'll get more chances to work together.
