A few years ago I was broadcasting a game in MN and the officials were from SD.(I live right on the MN/SD border). It turns out I happened to know the officials that night fairly well. One was the guidance counseler/GBB coach for the school in the SD town I lived in(that was the last year of GBB in the fall in SD) and the other official in the 2 man crew was one of the sales staff at our radio stations I worked at. Only night before a game I ever told the coach to be somewhat nice to the officials becuase if he wasn't I"D hear about it the next day from one and maybe two people.(depeneding on if I ran into the guidance counseler while doing my news beat calls)
