Have you guys ever worked a game with a new partner that seems to be struggling? I worked a Freshman Girls game last night that can be ugly with out anyones help. It just seemed like the play was some of the worst I have seen this year. The coaches needed educated on the rules of the game. Fans had no clue (when do they ever) but they did pay there $4 so why not blame the ref for a poor excuse of a basketball game with non stop complaining. I am trying not to pass the blame but there were some calls for a 9 year veteran that made it hard to keep in the flow of the game.
A block/charge foul that could have gone either way partner blows whistle fist in the air no motion I am assuming block I start lining up for free throws then I look over and see a motion for player control. Which is fine, but a call like that has to be a instant sell call. Just little things like that kept adding up through out the night.
I was just curious if you guys have ever been in games where you feel it is giving your career a black mark? If so what did you do?
Thanks
