Yep...had a MS coach earlier this year who made the remark that our assignor had assigned this game with a little "overkill"...apparently in reference to us doing Varsity Basketball in the area.
Then he preceded to tell me, during the game, that the opposing 7th grader was "in the key". (His big toe was over the lane line opposite ball)
I asked him if he "was going to tell me how to officiate this game"? He was smart enough to know, that was enough.
