Why I hate Rec league

[reffish]

As the assigner, I would...wonder as you work with a rookie, who probably ball watches the entire game, why would you watch the ball, your partner is watching the ball. Take care of everything else that happens on the court, like the coaches, like you did. Punishment for the AC, well, that is up to the assigner. What they broker with the school is what will happen and you have said your peace. That is all you can do. Keep working and do what you do on the court.

At times your game management skills in a game of 9 & 10 year old children plays a big part. Calling every violation or foul can drag these games out and never allow any flow (Ha !) to develop. We have all had games at this level and you do pick and choose to pass on certain situations.

With 10 bodies moving around on the floor, me getting screened is always a possibility. While we do have our area of coverage, if my partner observes something in my area (but not 3/4 the lenght of the court on an inbound violation)..........call away, we are working as a team. Talk to your partner after the game and point out areas that need improvment, and also point out things he did well.......positive comments.

At the end of the game I am making a quick exit somewhere. I do not owe anyone an explanation for anything. This is going to add fuel to the fire that is already burning. Regardless of the level, game management, and court awareness ranks right up there with knowing the rule book inside and out.
