The game was decent enough, but we never did rotate except for fouls. The next girls game I worked was a much better crew and made me realize there are some officials out there that are just in it for the $$$. Sad, but eye-opening moment for me.

That first R is still working and I make it a point to rotate a lot whenever he's on my crew and I'm the R.

What does being the R have to do with rotating? In my games, the R tosses the jump and starts each quarter as the trail. Besides this, we are all equals during the game.

My first three whistle, varsity game...I'm nervous enough whithout questioning his pre-game. I'm doing whatever the veteran tells me.
