I don't leave because I like officiating too much, and I know this league needs help. I'm only 15, so many leagues don't think I'm mature enough or responsible enough to be officiating.

An emergency sub, yeah, but he's still a referee (he was reffing the games the next court over). Don't get me wrong, I like everybody I work with - a lot - but I don't think they realize the importance of mechanics and court position, that's all.
A lot of rec leagues are like that. You need to get Padgett to fly in and give them what for. His league DOES emphasize mechanics, court coverage, and rules. Oh, yeah, and presence. Gotta be fair to everyone...
