I'm an assistant coach at 4A school in Maryland. At halftime of a game recently, the scorer asked me to knock on the referees dressing room door to tell them there was 3 minutes left before the start of the second half. Since I was standing by the door. I knocked and announced the time. As I finished someone opened the door and to my surprise both referees were standing in the middle of the floor with the home team and coaching staff. I was floored. I stood and watched with my mouth open as they exited the room. One official saw my surprised look and turned to me and said "What?" I bit my tongue because we were the visiting team and still had a second half to play. I was quite angry about the appearance of favoritism. I wanted to just ask them about that after the game but they were gone before I had a chance to talk to them. I mean there was a classroom right next door to where the officials were that either the officials or the other team could have used. Am I paranoid or what?
