Guess what got me interested in officiating? Yup...working tables in middle and high school.

I've had some fairly worthless tables, but I still consider them part of my team. If anyone gives them attitude I'll step in instantly and make sure everything is directed at me. During summer ball or lower level leagues a good table just isn't going to be a sure thing. I'm of the mindset that no one messes with the table. Moment anything gets out of hand I'll talk to both coaches and if they don't control stuff I will.



I have thrown a couple tables out, but I don't tolerate the table complaining about foul counts and such for their team. You're on my team or you can leave.

First of all I was there observing and not officiating. Secondly, the officials tried their best to work with them but they were just awful. Nothing could of been done but get new ones.

only thing that drives me crazy is when they forget to stop /start the clock 50% of the time.

I wouldn't preemptively replace the scorer unless there is a real problem.
