Officially taking early retirement from Adult Men's Wreck League

[Kansas Ref]

Well, they should be thankful that you had of 1.5 yrs of tolerance. It's their loss---they just lost a great official--the quality of that league will go down and the chaos level will go up.
Like I have said before (in other posts on such leagues)--I convert all such wreck league games into a FT shooting contest; however, based on reading what you've had to put up with--not even my ruse would work. Just plain bad basketball from the intimidated league management to the idiot players.

Adult leagues -- everyone has a mouth and wants to use it.

I guess this stuff is for some people -- it's not for me. It would be for me at about $50/game, maybe. I have a price. I'd still call a lot of Ts.

Every official should be required to work one year of "wreck" games just for educational purposes and then NEVER EVER have to work them again.

Adult league's aren't for everyone. I've done plenty and also do HS.

It takes a different approach by the official -- for me its recognizing that we're dealing with men vs boys. I'm 34 -- almost all the men's league players are my age +- 10 years. The players are basically my peers. So I will engage with them, talk with them, joke with them -- Things that I don't do when I'm working a HS game.

Not saying this is true in your case, but in general, where I see officials get frustrated and have problems is when officials try to run these games like HS games. Playcalling, philosophy, etc. that generally makes the game better in HS often makes the game worse for Adult leagues and vice verse.
