I can relate, Tim!!
On my VERY FIRST GAME (JVG), it was also my partner's very first high school game as well. He was there first. When I walked in, we got to talking and figured this much out. We looked at each other and simultaneously said, "Do you want to be the referee?"
I immediately said, "NO! Heck, I've already been to the bathroom TWICE today...I couldn't take being the referee!!"
He didn't want to be referee either, but he was a little older than I was, plus, he said he knew many of the administrators at the school. So, he ended up being referee!
Whew! I think I finally relaxed after the 3rd quarter!
