I had the wife of the head coach from the winning-visiting-team tell me (and my partners) that our game was really well officiated......and the nicest compliment of all...."what was realy nice is that you guys weren't jerks".

Glad to know that, at least on that night, I was a good official and NOT a jerk.

If you're going to believe 'em when they tell you how good you are, then you've gotta believe 'em when they tell you that you suck too.

I'm not sure I believed him. I was just surprised to hear it!

And he said "best officiated", not "well officiated". I just sucked less than everyone else.

When the winning coach says you did a fine job, I tend to get a bit 'gun-shy' because this is the same guy that thinks you suck when he loses the game. The only times I feel we have done a good job is when the losing coach says, 'nice job, guys' or when nothing is said by either coach. Like we were ghosts out there and simply faded away after the game. sometimes after a game (week or two) a fan will simply say, 'Its like you guys were invisible out, we hardly noticed you'. That's when we know we hit it right.

Had a Boys/Girls Doubleheader a couple weeks ago where the visiting team was from 200 miles away. Between games, a fan approached me and told me what a nice job we had done in the first game and said, "We (as fans) really can't even tell that you're from here. Things were called pretty evenly." That was after the visiting team had lost the girls game.

jerk = ***** on the Fed board.
