Really? That's outrageous....and I can't imagine how he/she could actually get away with strictly in practice. Stuff happens, and your excuse is absolutely valid.

I wonder who that is (no, not asking you to say here). I do some games on the boys and girls suburban side, and have had to turn back games this year to both. Didn't get blackballed...yet!

Played in a similar league when younger. I felt pity for the officials then. I eventually quit the league when the stupidity trumped the "fun" we were having.

Some adults are out there to have fun and exercise. But in some leagues, there are players that think they missed their calling to the NBA, and claim they got fouled on every shot they miss, and later complain when you call a foul on them, etc.

I tend to talk to the adult players more and say "nice shot" or complement them on playing good defense when they don't swat at every shot attempt thinking they can block them all without committing a foul. Having said that, some men's league players are certainly not adults.

Thanks for posting Rich. Great stuff for anyone who's done a Men's Wreck League!

I love it....

My favorite is "Mr. Pants Guy". It's 110 out here? Why is he always wearing pants?

That's the unfortunate part of where I officiate... Assignors have plenty of options.
