Why would you want to go back to a place that is going to have a bulls-eye on you from the beginning? At least if I go back to the school I had a situation with it will be because they are in the playoffs and they will be more in my area. To me she is supporting her official, she is keeping him out of unnecessary problems at a level that probably is not going to get the prestige or focus. Good move by the assignor if you ask me.

I agree. My crew lost a conference in football for *years* because I dared to flag a local legend for unsportsmanlike conduct (after we ejected his player for spearing and he decided to argue with me instead of tend to his injured, ejected player).

I haven't had an open Friday night since that incident, so why should I care?
