[The Ref of OZ!!!]

Like I said on another thread, I work in a small association.... I think it was 15 guys this last season, with no females this year (we've had two in years passed). We don't work crews, but, we have a small enough association that I work with the same guys throughout the season. I guess that our assoc. is small enough that it's almost like working the same crew all season.... There've been some guys in the past I'd rather not work with, but they seem to weed themselves out.

I've seen the WH step between two as they walked off the field..... I thought the LM was going to kill the U one night.... The U had thown a PI from 40 yards away, that the LM was right on top of. I was in the stands watching the game, my son was playing, and I couldn't believe what the U had done.... Luckily, he's gone now.

In a small assoc., we all pitch in to guide the new guys. I helped tutor a rookie this year. He only worked the lower level games, I don't think he even got a JV game. But hopefully he'll be back next year.

This comment relates to the some of the other threads that are on here..... You can always tell a rookie official... He's the one who wants to throw a flag on every play!!!!

Gotcha!!!!!
