Its Official - I've retired
Its official - I have retired from adult league rec ball. Last nights were the final games to which I was obligated to and they were typical. In the last games of the season, players just seem to want to try to do all the things thay have held back on all year. My partner and I called 5 Ts in the first game and by the second game we were just mellow. Its amazing how calling those Ts sometimes just takes away all the pain. Most of them came from players who just didn't know when to zip their pie hole. I had one who wanted to argue that after a punch signal for an offensive foul, I had really signaled to count the basket. Even some of the wives in the stands were yelling for them to grow up and just play.
It was a good run all these years as I learned a lot about player and game management, but I've lost my patience in general with certain players and the type of ball they play. They will always remain the same, so it is time for me to move on. Bring on the kids games! |
Don't look at it as a retirement, look at it as a graduation.

Not everyone graduates. When it came to high school, for example, Jurassic just retired.

Who Calls The English Teacher Daddy-O ?
When Jurassic Referee went to school there were just three subjects: Huntin', Gruntin', and Cave Painting. I believe that he passed all three, and was summa cum laude in Gruntin'.
