Last week I did a boys JV game. The other ref was a no show so I did the game myself.(Fun time). Just after the 3rd period started, the 2 varsity officials walked through the gym. The varsity game was after the JV game. They saw that I was alone, yet neither offered to jump in and help.

As it turned out, the game went fine, I have no complaints and neither did the coaches. I am just venting that neither varsity coach would offer to help out. We are after all, in this together aren't we?
I have had times where the varsity coaches have NOT wanted me to jump in and help the subvarsity official in his game. They would prefer to have the varsity officials rested and focused on the game that they were scheduled to call instead of rushing to work an unscheduled earlier game.

There have been other times where they had no problem with me jumping in and helping. As a courtesy to the coaches (our customer if you will) I adhere to their wishes in this matter.
