Coached and played for the last 15 years. Just started officiating this year. Wow - what a challenge. I never paid much attention to refs when I coach. Could count on one hand how many times I yelled about a call. Officiating is a whole new world. It's a bigger challenge than I had originally anticipated. I'm liking it so far, but know I have so much to learn. Coaches have no mercy..... Neither do fans......

Umm,...isn't she coming from the dark side?

Cheryl, you'll have to excuse her, she sometimes gets things up mixed.

Exactly! Since when has a coach ever been right?

It's our job to clear up misconceptions like this.

Touche!

Cheryl, having been corrected by the very erudite M$M, I will now re-phrase my greeting to you.

Hey, Cheryl, welcome to the light side! Keep coming to this board to learn a lot of silly little details that no one ever needs -- until the day after the discussion. We won't steer you wrong. At least not collectively. At least not on purpose. Unless we're playing a joke on you. At least not as long as you keep agreeing with us.

Oh, for Pete's sake. This is a real fun place and y'all oughta stick around. Get it?

No one has ever called me that before. Thanks!
(Now I'll go look it up...)

I don't know about some of the other people around here, but I never joke or kid around.
