He takes the ball OOB and passes to B2. A1, who had been chippy during the game loses it. "You have got to be kidding me! G-D it!" Whack!. I didn't find out it was an airball until I was explaining the T to his coach, of which he quietly and politely informed me. Doh!
Question for the group: This thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Are there too many topics in one thread or are the topics themselves just uninteresting? 
I'd be glad to break them up if folks wanted it that way. I have become a MUCH better official as a result of learning on this forum and I posted this thread to learn more from the experiences of others.
The " The Worst Error You've ever made reffing a game?" thread seemed to have some good traction and I've learned somethings in that one. |
*I'm glad that the thread I started has been enlightening for you as it has been entertaining and enlightening for me also. When I mentor younger refs it's good to see--and quite humbling--to find that we all came from the same place: "lots of enthusiasm, but limited knowledge". I can't tell you how many times after a game that on the drive back home I have reflected on "calls" that I made---sometimes pleased with myself, yet other times critical of myself. I guess, that's how we grow.
