Referee with "rabbit ears"

[dave30]

I wish I had one dollar for every fan that said "I used to be a referee!" I always ask, "what chapter?"........they fumble around with that one most of the time!

JRutledge, I have to disagree with you a little bit. I know there are some young, inexperienced, refs in middle school ball, but there are some good ones as well. I know plenty of guys who work a varsity schedule, a couple who do some college ball, who still work some middle school games on occasion. Some people really like the kids. I do for the most part, although my middle school games are now few and far between. I still like to do elementary kid's games too. Also, there are plenty of guys and gals who work nights and can only do earlier games such as middle school or Freshman or JV even though they referee at a high level.
