Today I snapped!
One of my good friends has a new organization and I scheduled games for a private middle school tournament. There was this one official, new to us, who talked a great game. I mean he sounded like he could really go on th court if you listened to all the stuff he was saying.
Well, the word "bum" could be used to describe how he officiates.
I was talking to him and his partner after their game, actually his partner at the time. He says, "So what do you have for me?" I tried to continue, but I just couldn't and I snapped. To make a long story short, I told him where he could go and he will not be working with us anymore.
Moral of the story: officials who talk a good game are only entertaining until they get on the court.
