more ugliness

[Junker]

Just venting here, but my last three games have been ugly. Last Thursday (one of my 2 JH games I took) I almost had to throw a minister out for complaining while he was running the clock. Friday my partner T'd up a home assistant coach with 20 seconds remaining and home down 2. Last night I had B-G Varsity double header. The night was going along just fine until the second half of the boys game. V is down 10 and playing defense with their hands. Home is up, sitting back in a zone. Foul count (meaningless to me because of the style of play) goes to 10-2 at one point. We had two ugly plays that looked like collisions, but they were just players hustling and getting themselves off balance. The last of these plays was in my partner's area. V coach wants a foul and asks me. I say that it's clearly in my partner's area and he would have something if it was there. Coach ran through two stop signs (that's enough coach, let's move on) and I had to take care of him. With about 30 seconds left my partner had a clear intentional but did the mechanic at his waist so no one, including me, knew he was going intentional right away. Postgame the V coaches are outstide our dressing room complaining about B*&^%it officials. Nice to get some constructive criticism. I'm watching the tape tonight and hoping my luck gets better.
