Too Many Games ...

Back when I was coaching middle school basketball, and officiating anywhere, any game, anytime, to pick up some extra bucks for my three kid's college educations, I would often lose focus around the third week of February. Physically, I was fine, but I struggled mentally. It was just way too much basketball.

Now that my kids are through with college, and I've retired from teaching, and coaching, I'm able to pick, and choose, the games that I want to officiate (I work for only two assigners, high school, and Catholic middle school), and have cut the number of games that I do considerably. I no longer lose focus.
