Yes, I did feel good about it. I also know now why I refuse to do rec games.

Youre excused. Now lets look at this step by step.
"Mickey Mouse rec league" - Did you go into the game with this attitude? If you did you were doing a disservice to the kids and the league that was paying you for the game. If you dont go into every games you do like it is the state finales, or the Final 4, or the NBA finals then you are doing a disservice to the game of basketball in general
In order to save money, teams supply there own table crew Never seen a rec league that paid for help. They use either kids or parents. For that matter how many high schools dont supply there own scorer?
We use time saving mechanics, and my partner just asked this guy what has # was I dont care what you call it, your partner was being lazy. To save even more time why dont you just ask everyone who fouls to raise their hand, stop the play and report their number? It is the duty of an official to get the number. You do this by looking at the jersey! By asking what the number is, the situation was created by your partner.
This guy said with a grin 27 Well I was not there but if I was trying to deceive I would not have a grin on my face.
He was a jerk all game (all year for that matter) And did you try game/player management with the kid at any time during the game, the year?
He starts lipping at me "are you sure ref" "I don't think you are sure" This one Ill give you. I do have to ask if you gave him the stop sign first or did you just shoot the T?
I also know now why I refuse to do rec games. IMHO - May be best for all involved.
