#3. Wearing a college shirt/jacket in a high school game.
#2. I worked with a fellow recently who put smokeless tobacco in his mouth during halftime of the first game. A school administrator told him it was a tobacco-free zone, and he did again later in the night! But my biggest pet peeve: #1. The guy who doesn't wear a lanyard, and then tells me and my partner all night why it makes him a better foul caller. |

I am 6'2 and weigh 230#s. I need to drop a few pounds.
I occasionally ref with a partner that needs to drop a few more than that and because of it there is a lack of hustle and being out of position to make the call. It is not professional. |

As a first year official.. Mine are in order.
1. Not rotating on fouls. When I go to rotate and they are waving me back it makes ME look like I dont know what I'm doing... I dont need thier help to look clueless.. I do that well enough on my own as is. 2. Lazy refs. When I'm trail.. and I beat you down the court on a fast break.. and there is no earthly reason that should happen... ![]() 3. When you know that this could be a good official, but they suffer from the two syndromes above. 4. Officials who YELL at coaches and fans. As their partner.. I feel like crawling in a hole. 5. Officials who are all of the above giving me advice cause I'm a first year official. ![]()

Just a point of clarification, you don't rotate on fouls, you switch (I am assuming two man).
All of your other points are valid and should be discussed with your partner. Just remember all of these points as you move up and work with first year officals yourself. |

Mine are....
Guys who don't hustle....get yourself in position cause if you are not where you should be, you are making us both look bad. Guys who make up their own signals...Like the "superman" for their "over the back calls" rather than the push signal. Use the approved mechanics, that's what they want us to use. The guy who who refuses to listen to anything you have to say cause he's patched/licensed or has more years of experience than you...I couldn't possibly understand anything cause I let my license lapse a couple years ago and I've been doing this for 7+ years! ![]() Guys who take it all too personal ...If another official is advising you, just listen, don't take it personally. You don't have to agree or utilize what they are saying, but just listen....It might not be the way you do it, but that doesn't make it wrong and it doesn't mean you are doing it wrong either... |

Lack of eye contact.
Showing up dressed 2 minutes before tip-off Ripping on other officials and how bad so and so is and why do they get good games..... Unprofessional talk--for example, the hot mom in the stands, how hot the coach is, etc., etc., as if all men are simply pigs and I care about that crap. |

I wasn't mad, just a little upset that he didn't point her out to me. ![]() BTW - this guy is in his 5th year, I think.
