Fast forward 6 weeks later. I was assigned to my first provincial (in Canada) final. As I walk onto the floor, I see the coach who complained sitting courtside (as a spectator) and I could tell by his expression that he was very surprised that I was there. I have never had a problem with him since.

I worked a pretty big game last Thursday that was televised locally and last night I went to a small school about 10 minutes from my house. The boys coach came up to me during the JV game (we were watching in the stands) and said, "I saw you on TV Thursday -- you guys looked good" etc., etc.
Kind of the same feeling. I figure if I ever get selected to work a state game there'll be a handful of coaches see me and wonder "how did he get THIS game?" LOL.
I know he wasn't working me, BTW -- it was a girls game last night.
