Can't find my rhythm yet.
 

My schedule has been wierd this fall and have had long gaps between games (partly due to having to cancel 2 games to get a clinic in.) Had a JV girls game tonight... big lead for home for a while but V cut it to a two point game with 41 seconds left, but then travelled and then threw away an easy pass. Home won by 4. I didn't have a bad game, in fact I think I was honestly a little better than my partner tonight, but I just can't find my rhythm yet. Also, I could kick myself. With about 4 minutes left I called a hold on 33 blue who is on offense under the basket. Report the foul go to put ball in play and partner signals for a 1 & 1. Rather than remembering it was a TC we shoot the stupid shot. Driving home it hit me that we'd botched it. Thank God she missed the first so it had no effect on the game. Would normally never miss something like this. JV boys this Friday. Maybe I'll find it then.

Bob,

You'll find it. Most of us are still trying to get out of the gate too. I haven't had a game since Friday evening and I wasn't very happy with it. I was suppose to work on Saturday, but the high school I graduated from made it into our game so we (Illini_Ref and I) had to be taken off. Next game for me is on Wednesday. Some Turkey Tournament game around here somewhere...but I'm not exactly sure where we're going. :D

I think it must be the pants. They fit now (tokk them up 1" in the waist) so I don't have to pull them up every time we have a stoppage of play. That must be it... or... or the new shoes.. .maybe its the new shoes!

:eek:

Hey, refnrev, dont worry...can't be as bad as my situation. I sat out last season to have hip replacement in October 2006. Just had my first games last night and am slowly getting back to running again. Does anybody know someone who went through this and was able to ref again? I'm in top shape, but am getting up there in age. Jack

The fact that you are back out on the court at all is pretty good in my book. It'll take some time. Best of luck to you.

PY...Thanks...My partner said I looked fine, but I'd like to see the video to confirm that...LOL

I had a hard time finding my rhythm too. Turns out it was by the music, next to the daisies in the green pastures. ;)

Dude, you sound like an iron man to me!

Did you just say....dude???

Refnrev is "down" like that...as the kids would say. :p

Dude, what's wrong with saying dude. :cool: I don't if I'm down with anything, but since I got my pants taken up an inch they are [I]up/I]where they belong!

Uh, yeah. Nothing like a 25-year-old cartoon to demonstrate what "the kids" are into. :D

Hey Scrappy, we're all kids at heart aren't we? I wish I still had the knees of a kid!

Geeze, ya scared me there for a minute...25 years old!!

According to wikipedia it's more like 14 years old.

Here's something much closer to 25 years old...
