Funny you should mention this.
Worked a JV game last week where we had 4 ineligible (for various reasons) players punished by being forced to work the chains. I thought the linesman was going to fire and/or hurt one of the stake men -- he kept texting during the game.
Right or wrong, I was more amused watching the H than I was annoyed at the chain crew. I didn't wait for them, anyway.
