An official in my chapter was given a varsity boys game. (it will probably be the only one she gets this year) It was given to her by a friend, who got it directly from the school. It was a non-league game, but it did have a team (away)that is in the same league that her husbands( a coach) team is in. Her husbands team and the team she officiated should battle it out for the league title and right to go to the playoffs. Overall record is looked at for playoffs. Should she have taken and reffed this game???

I don't know. What is your association's policy? Should the fact that her husband is a coach keep her from officiating any game that involves the league he is in?

About 90% of the games that our association refs are 4A in one league. If we had a ref that had a spouse who was a coach and we never let them ref in that league, all they'd get would be small school games. That would kinda suck.

Sounds like a policy needs to be looked at (or a policy needs to be made if you don't have one).
