(Gee, that is one long sentence.)

Wow! I bet there are assigners and officials at every level that will tell you that when this happens you might as well hang your whistle up and never officiate again. In other words, it ain't gonna happen!

I like games where the crew is cohesive, all kinds of things happen and we are on it the right way. An easy game is good money, but boring.
