Hey Matthew! Fellow jr.NBA ref- i was begging to think I was a lone soilder out here. I'm guessing your in texas too? If so dang the only with missing is the same name. Hahaha

Yeah... I found here in my leaguge that I call the parents/coaches behave worst than the players. The players just wanna play. They dont give a rats butt about half the stuff the parents and coaches do. At age 7 he needs to start being taught. I wish the guys in my league that call alot of the 5, 6, 7 and 7-9 girls (all cross court games in my league) would crack down. It's gunna be hard from some of the players when they move up to the full-court games which I primarily call. Wanna talk off board sometime? drop me an email and we'll exchange SN's or something. Something you need to learn (something that I learned myself) have a MUCH shorter rope for players than you do for coaches and never show emotion. I got alot of respect from taking crap from coaches 3 times my age and never being intimidated. When you get the coaches respect u get the players and then the parents. Before you long you dont feel like you have to run for your car after your last game.

Contact me off board we'll share some war stories. Its hard to beat some of these high school/college war stories with rec ball LOL
