I had the opportunity to work 3 high school summer league All-Star games last week with Tomegun & one of our other buddies. We always have a great time officiating together, even if they have to keep me out of trouble during the games. We worked 3 all star games with the temperature reaching over 100 degrees in the gym. We worked the JV, Varsity & top 20 players in the league.
My question to you all is: How do you feel about working all-star games? Do you like or dislike them? Is this something that you put on your resume or do you consider this just another game? Do you hold your whistle in your game or are you calling just like any other game? This was not my 1st all-star game but personally, I am not a fan of doing all-star games.

 I had the opportunity a while back to do one at the high school level as well. All I really remember about it was we just sort of sat back and let them play; the players weren't too interested in defense so we didn't have any block/charge decisions. I'm not sure it was a resume-booster, just another game.

Those games were brutal. I'm glad I got paid because I hate doing those games where everyone wants you to hold back so you don't stop the "entertainment." I was at my last camp and an official got booed for calling a carry in one of the all-star games. It was pretty funny.
