I said, “Coach, you gotta help me here. Who was that on?” He did not say a word but just turned away from me. I stood there at the table not knowing what to do, when a fan yelled out, “Number 15”. So I reported, “White, 15”, and walked away. I wonder if that coach will remember me when I ref his team at his school tonight?

WOW, is that funny! First thing you have to learn is sell your calls even if you have no idea and your P has no Idea. PICK somebody! Dont compound the sitch by showing your inexperience to the coach. That is odd that 2 newbies together for first game! The assignor must have screwed up. Believe me the coach will remember you! Just be careful he doesnt try to use YOU to his advantage tonight! Good Luck 2night and try to watch as many games as possible, thats the best way to learn.
