I've been partnered up this year with a younger fellow (about 22 yrs. old) who has 3 full seasons behind him.
Unlucky for him he looks to be about 18 at most. Good ref with great mechanics, but gets picked on sometimes by the more ignorant element of the 'coaching species'. Anyway, this young fellow has developed a quick wit and a sharp tongue as he progressed through the levels. Last week at a boys game for instance we had a coach yelling "call it both ways" everytime my partner passed the bench. Obviously he didn't know my partner, who is an excellent official, but quick with a ticket especially when folks get personal as well as stupid.
Eventually my partner got a little frustrated. Here's what I heard.

COACH: Call it both ways!!!

Partner: What's That coach??

Coach: Call it both ways!!!

Partner: That's too much information coach.

Coach: What???

Partner: I said, that's too much information.

Coach: What you talking about.

Partner: That you go both ways.

Needless to say anyone within earshot was hysterical, and the idiot never said another word.


We may have a Dave-in-Training!
