My example #2:

I had heard that a parent for an Eaton Rapids MS girls team was very vocal and had already been asked to leave 3 games this year. So I’m pleased to report that this imbecile didn’t let me down in an ER game I worked vs JCMS. There were only 40 people in the stands, so each time a call went against ER we could easily hear his loud complaints and comments about how bad we were and how we were “homers.” But how could we toss this guy, he was such an idiot all he was doing was making a fool of himself and we were laughing through the entire game....

Anyway, this was his classic comment. For 3 quarters he complained every time we called a foul on his team. Early in the 4th, ER team was down by 20+ and one their guards clearly traveled. I thought my partner was going to call it, he thought I was going to call it. Neither of us did, so it didn’t get called. In the act of traveling the ER guard turned it over and JCMS picked it up and went down the court for a layup. On the way back up the court as I’m going by him, the guy loudly says, “why would he call a travel on us when he knows JCMS has a chance to get a layup?” I almost spit my whistle out. Not only am I a horrible ref, I’m clairvoyant!!
