"Working" the men in stripes

[BigDave]

I enjoy when a coach is "working me". I have the philosophy that it is his job to gain every advantage he can for his team. I treat it as a chess match. The harder he "works me", the better I officiate. I have to stay on top of my game because if I kick a call, then he wins the match.

I use it as a motivator to give the players, not him, the best officiated game possible.

To me, being "worked" is a positive, not a negative.
