We'll wait, don't worry.

"You just don't get it" wasn't something to "offer the community". It was personal. Next time I'll send a PM, so you don't get confused. BTW, I have a much nicer voice than Hillary.

Otherwise, known as: Misogny--->bad, misandry--->good. Nothing changes.

And yeah, the women don't get it. It has to be blatant discrimination before they see it. They don't see the subtle stuff.

We went through this before.... waste of time then, waste of time now.

And I always stayed for the varsity game if I did the JV game. Apparently those things help!

My 1st time in the post season & I was blessed with the opportunity to work 3 BOYS games (2A & 3A boys Districts, 4A boys 2nd round).

I didn't get "the sweet 16 email" yesterday so I'm done... unfortunately

It seems as though each time I feel that I accomplish something in this avocation, I find reasons to keep pushing to get better.

I guess working the girls games (not that there's anything wrong with that) without any complaints during the regular season earned me the boys in the post season. So that's a plus!
I guess working the U2 position during the regular season without any complaints earned me the U1 position in the post season. Another plus!

So now I need to work harder this summer to earn the boys games in the regular season, earn the right to be an R & go deeper into the playoffs next year.

Special thanks to the board for assisting me in getting better!! I learned so much about game management, rules knowledge & unusual situations. I wouldn't have progressed the way I have without Officiating.com

JRut & JR I know we've had our moments but thanks for keeping me in line. I learned so much from you two!

2nd year? I had to work 3 seasons to get my first playoff games in WI and I had 15 years experience before I got here!

I'm done on Thursday. Girls sectional (round of 16). We select the R here, but I'm more than happy to be Bono or the Edge (U2) for this game. One it's tapped, it doesn't matter who I am, really. I'm always an "R" on the court

Sigh. I guess I'm glad that there are two separate organizations doing girls and boys organizations here so that this attitude doesn't happen here. I have the choice to do both if I wish. I don't because I don't wish to spend the extra time an extra association would mean.

And, yeah, you guys don't get it. It has to be blatant discrimination before you see it. You don't see the subtle stuff.

Congratulations on making the postseason. Especially in only your second season. It took me 7 or 8 years to get a playoff game. (Of course, it took me 6 years to get any varsity games at all.)

Sorry to hear that your season is over. Sadly, I'm pretty sure that mine is too. Time to get those camp applications out!

I like your mindset of working hard in every game, start to finish, and watching as much local ball as you can. It always helps to see teams and plays before you have to actually officiate them.
