For those who care

[Rita C]

I wrote about my situation with a certain coach at a nearby middle school.

I have found out that I do not need to fear for my safety. He was very uncomplementary in his emails to my assignor but not dangerous.

Taking me off the games is just temporary, for this season only. My assignor says we start over with the new season.

Given the opportunity, if I am assigned to one of his games, it will be with another woman. We'll see what happens on his part. (And maybe we'll have a better idea if the real problem is that I'm female.) The two of us will be quite professional, I assure you.

My assignor has his game today. I get to know what happens there tomorrow.

Rita, have you thought about going and watching the game, as a spectator?

Lovely Rita, Meter Maid - I would suggest you take a video cam to the game and make sure the coach knows you are recording his every reaction to every call. If your assignor asks you what you are doing, just tell him you appreciate the opportunity to tape his officiating and you are using it for a learning experience to get better. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

that it wasn't more than arguing calls. Its really a shame that we have to look at things that way in this day and age. It sounds like your assignor is a good guy and is working to protect you this year.

In this case better song title would be "When Rita leaves, Rita's gone" by Delbert McClinton.

I'll be looking for this on youtube.

Rita,

I'm glad to hear that it's not anything very serious. It sure would've shaken me if I was told what you were told. Hopefully next year will be better or he won't be there anymore.

Oh man. I never thought of that. Dang. The game I was moved to was cancelled too. I could have.

If I had thought of it, I might have. Could have been fun.

Especially if you brought Padgett's camera.

Padgett's camera is mounted in a wall in a bathroom at the Little Old Ladies Rest Home.

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know how you know this.

Somebody must have moved it to the men's room because all I keep getting is videos of Larry Craig.
