What a great night.

I tried to log in as ref18, but after so many unsuccessful tries, I decided to give up. (His password is not tv60, for example.)

Had a BV double header. 3 T's first game, 1 in the second.

Game #1
The HC, a wanderer, is questioning an OB call by my P (L, opposite), along the endline. I thought it was the right call, but naturally I don't know 100%. I'm T, table side, and start to listen to the HC. He's chripin' pretty loudly and this league is high on sportsmanship. I give him the, "Thank you, coach." He's still going on, then the AC gets into it. I give both the stop sign, and each a "that's enough coach." They're both still barking. WHACK. Total time gone by: about 8 seconds. They're both quiet now.

Later in the game, my P, L in transition, makes a great PC call. I see the player that committed the foul get angry and try to step in there to save him. I jog closer and give him a "walk away son." He ignores me, walks down and stares down my P and gives a two arm gesture (P was reporting the PC). WHACK. I then tell the team captain, who's on the court, to deal with the player, since he's still agitated. I turn around to report the T and hear, from the kid "this is truckin' retarded." (-tr, +f) I don't even blow my whistle. Give the heave-ho signal.

Game #2
Similar sitch, OB call near the (same) endline, I'm T table side again. This time I thought it was close, but P makes the call. Player objects. And keeps on objecting by saying (out loud of course), "these refs are on crack." WHACK.

I should have let my P handle this one though - it was his call. Oh well. I thought I was on a roll.

Have your hands full tonight JugglingReferee?!

Sounds like you were on a roll.

And what is it with players saying the refs are on crack? I had that happen to me a couple weeks ago.

How hard could it be to figure out Ref18's password?

Whackinator would be my first try.

I'm thinking, "General"

General Whackinator?

Henceforth, ref18 shall be named "General Otis T. Whackinator"!

So it is written! So it is done!

This reply is ONLY in reference to JR's post, all those T's, hope you stayed calm or else that index finger is in a splint today.

Chris,

My index fingers are calloused from my early years of throwing out T's!

At least they aren't calloused from Moises Alou-ing on your hands.

Hey wait a minute, JR...you're not even one of the moderators, how can you be the one to decide?? See, it's just this kind of "know-it-all", "I'm in charge" attitude that is bothering so many of our younger officials today...did you even pre-game this nickname with any of your partners???Hmmmm??? Well???? I thought not...Juulie is going to be so disappointed with you!

I know there's a story there, but I'm not going to ask for details.

rocky -- I'm not in the least disappointed. Rookie has convinced me of the advantages of back alley conferences, and JR and I kinda quietly worked this all out together. That's just good game management. Too bad you're not big-time enough to be "in". And if you get all huffy and rat, I'm gonna call you a tattletale, you whiner.

Ahhh man...JR left me out again??? I hate it when he does that! I'm telling mick and Tony...


PS: I'd tell Dan, but we all know how those d@mn Yankees fans stick together...

I beg your forgiveness, El Supremo. I will now face to the west and bow down three times to your likeness hanging on my wall. Also, in your honor, I will sacrifice a virgin. Heeheeheehee....

Fair enough?
