Agree with Mark....those Varsity officials hung you out to dry (perhaps not intentionally, but they did). If one official is stuck alone working a game, and there are others available, SOMEONE needs to step in, if only because it makes the association look bad to have only one ref doing a game (especially if it's known that there were others there).
The stepping in mid-way through a game is a non-issue. The only possible exception I MIGHT be willing to accept is if there's only a small amount of time remaining, and it's a tight game.
I don't really care if the Varsity crew had two tough games ahead of them...if they can't physically or mentally handle putting in a little extra court time, especially to help out an up-and-coming colleague, they need to find another spare-time vocation. They set a very poor example.
So what if he didn't ASK for help. The senior guys should be taking the initiative.
These V refs owe you a beer...maybe two.
