10 games on saturday and 8 on sunday. No major problems. I gave a few T's for swearing. Coaches we decent but as usual I had 3 or 4 that we complete jerks. Thanks for all of your help!! One thing is that me knees are so sore from running up and down the court. Is this because I am out of shape or because idid 18 games in 36 hours? What can I use to lower impact on my knees???

Thanks!

The latter.

Cut back to no more than 6 games in 48 hours. 18 is just way too many, both physically and mentally. I know there's money in it, but I can't imagine it's good for you or your development as an official.
