We have 15 schools that we officiate for. So, you go round and round and round with them. One year I had the same school 21 times. Yes, 21. ( JV boys and girls and girls Varsity. ).

I tossed a coach last year and I "T"ed up a coach who had never been "T"ed before. He tried to black ball me, and it worked for about 5 games. Now I am back on the schedule without a problem.

My thought is, it's a whole new game. In my post on too many "T"s, I was doing the game with a coach that I had "T"ed twice this year. New game. No problem. But I did "T" up his opponent. It happens.
