Overtime

[Ray_from_Mi]

OT can be a special time for both player and official. Everyone gets to contribute, maybe its the kid who's been sitting on the bench and now one of starters has fouled out, and that kid plays like he could have been starting. As officials, we like to see the players form the outcome of the game. As mentioned, calls are now magnified and so now each toot becomes a possible momentum shift for one team. It does truly make us better, it's 'crunch' time, it's why we chose to get into this work. Its why we prefer to work on the floor instead of sitting in the stands, because we know we can and are willing to put our 'ability' in front of those who would like to be us. Aw, gee, I'm gettin' a lump in my throat...
