Weirdest game for me in years - maybe ever!

[JugglingReferee]

Mark,

The only way the game could have been weirder is if there were no held balls!

What are the odds of seeing "Mark Padgett" and "weird" in the same sentence?

Vegas won't give odds on that scenario.

I had a 7th girls C team game 2 years ago where we called 4 fouls total for the entire game. And no, we weren't letting everything go, though we did let some things go.

One of the most pleasant games I've ever worked. Play was (relatively) decent, no coach complaining, etc. Destroys any myth (at least to me) that you have to call fouls to keep the game under control or that teams respond positively to fouls being called.

So the game took what, about 35 minutes?

My partner kept track. There were 19.

I'm sorry, but if one of us is keeping track of the number of held balls in a 7th grade girls game, then the coach probably had a right to run his mouth, imho.

Seriously, I know it's tough to stay focused in a game like this, but the participants deserve our best effort.

What the H-E-double hockey sticks do you mean by that? Are you implying that I don't give my best effort when I officiate? If you are serious, you are a moron. Is that direct enough for you?
