I've done football, softball, and rugby in the past, but for a variety of reasons--length of games, speed of games, complex rules, inclement weather--I stick to just basketball these days. I consider going back to football every summer, but haven't heeded the call since 2000...who knows, maybe next year.

Football and basketball. I start in mid-July and finish in early March. By then, I'm tired of coaches, and yes, they're tired of me.

I have done soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball, though not at present. I don't think I can name 5 officials that only do one sport.

I barely have time to do basketball

And there is too much idle time in football & baseball/softball. I would lose focus. Especially in the summertime; my eyes would be in the bleachers.

I officiate basketball only. I like most sports, but basketball is the only sport that I ever truly loved.

I officiate only basketball (mostly in the winter but a bit of summer ball). In the fall right up to basketball season, I coach youth soccer (2 teams some years). My daughter plays softball in the late spring. That pretty much takes up the year. The rest I reserve for other activities.
