WOW!

Me, I worked Over-40 Men's Rec League games last night.

I call a foul on a veteran rec-league guy who's an asst. coach for a BV team I ref regularly.

He asks me what he did. I said "you fouled him". He asks "how?" I said "with your right hand."

Then he says to "call the game right. This isn't about you"

Yeah, 7:00 games on a Sunday night for $18 is really an ego boost for me.

Sounds like a T to me.

WOW! is right. My limit is 20 in a season. I can't imagine working 40+ in one night!

Nice try BITS, but I noticed your little editing job on my quote.

Not in this situation. We were side-by-side during the free throws. I made sure I got the last word in.

I come in peace
My reply was a joke just like the whistle show. ( which I thought was funny by the way) Mark I don't know you but have a lot of respect for all you do, as I respect everyone who blows the whistle. I asked a honest question about a play I saw and then I am getting made fun of for a wrong word ( i will double check my posts from now on) I really enjoy this forum and reading about all of the different things that happen during a game. Now again I apologize so can we move on to what this is intended for?

Nicely put, TonyT.

BTW, you're not the first one to misspell a word and catch hell for it.

I'll add that I think your OP was correct. Shouldn't blow the whistle for that, but once it's done, it's done.

You guys need a pay raise.
