Maybe it would be better if I just didn't know the rules

The best compliment that I have ever had was from an official who had the game the night after I was at a school noted for being trouble. He told me that it was the easiest game he had ever worked, no one made a peep. When I told him that I was there last night he asked me, "Oh really, how did your game go?"
For the record, I had T'd the asst. coach, the head coach, removed the drummer from band, two fathers from the crowd, called 2 intentionals, and a flagrant.

I had a rec game a couple of years ago, where I tossed a coach, an assistant coach and a dad, all off the same team, let's call them Orange.

Next week, I had them again, against another team I'd had trouble with. (This is a very bad league and I DON'T work there anymore!) Anyway, this second week, Team Orange coaches are quiet as church mice. Never a word. Team Blue is on my case from start to finish, and lost because of shots for technical fouls in the last few seconds of the game. As I was leaving, I heard the Team Orange coach say to his assistant, "I'm glad I learned my lesson last week!"
