Learning
Oh most definately!!! I learned so much last Saturday. I was amazed. I've been in basketball for about 10 years now with my kids. It's definately a different side of the coin! I'd actually like my girls to get into it, just to learn to respect ref's a little more!
It's funny now, I hear people complaining about the ref's in a game, and now I start to defend them! Then I get "the look" and they stop talking.
I was keeping score for my daughter's high school game last Friday night, and the ref was sooooooo quiet, I could hardly hear who he was calling the foul on, and when he used his fingers to show the number, he kept them together, so it was hard to see who he called it on too. Stuff like that will make ME a better ref.
