He did an excellent job. His mechanics and positioning were terrific and he used "advantage/disadvantage" as well as a lot of veterans. He made not even a single mistake on rules interpretations. He said he was going to look into joining an official's association next year. He lives kind of between two of them, so he's going to "check them both out". Whichever one gets him will be lucky.
After the game, I told him what a good job he did. He said that meant a lot coming from "an old geezer like me". As he said it he laughed and patted me on the shoulder. Obviously, it was a joke. I told him, "Hey, watch it, you young whippersnapper". He looked confused.
