I tend to think that in a HS playoff game anywhere, with a 3-person crew, the chance of three "oh f**k" situations is very low.
I'm confused. How do you pronounce *? Is this some Canadian thing, eh?

Fans will cheer; fans will boo; fans will make stupid comments to other fans. It's what fans do. Don't let fan reaction influence your evaluation of another official's work. For that matter, don't let it influence your work either.

That's right. In Canada, when you see a * in the middle of a word, you make any vowel sound you want, in a high-pitched tone. Kind of like you're beeping yourself out.
