I didn't see this one coming!

Losing coach finds me a few minutes after game time in a hallway. I was chatting with the varsity crew just outside the locker room. (We didn't share space 'cause they were ladies.)

Before I even knew this coach was headed my way, he's right next to me. He wanted to tell me that he thought the game was one of the best officiated he has had. He even had to go out of his way to find me.

If the other coaches find out, this guy may lose his job!

did you let your association know? when will it stop?

LOSING coach said this

It does happen once in a great while....... I had one early in the season last year. Varsity girls tournament, partner's vehicle died enroute & he couldn't get there, assignor called the officials for the following game, but they were both coming from across town, it was late Friday afternoon & traffic was a mess. I went ahead & started it single official, which is our policy - one of the following officials finally got there with 5 min left in the 4th. After the game as I was leaving the building, the losing team's coach approached me, thanked me for calling a great game, and said it was the best example of single official mechanics he'd ever seen. It made my week!

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.
