When I ref, There could be world war III going on just two blocks away and as long as they don't start bombing my gym, I don't care. My game is more important than any Hogin's Heros. It is more important then the Varsity game going on in the Gym next door, more importaint than the college game down the street. Even more important than the Super Bowl going on on TV at the moment of the game. Everything is more importaint than the NBA game to follow.
Just a note for new officials. Notice I said my everywhere. The game does belong to you. It is your baby to protect and uphold. The game doesn't happen without you so act like it is yours. The coaches are just active spectators. The players are the ones who play the game and you make sure it is played fairly, honestly, and according to the rules. Have fun with this and it will treat you right.
Good list.
