In a Rec game last yr I informed a coach of the "mercy rule" and that he could not "press" when up by more than 20. Turns out this wasn't specifically in the rules for this division (omission in the rules), but it was for other divisions in the league. No one had issues during the game because it made sense. The team up by 20 actually LOST the game.
But, I looked it up and found out I was wrong and it ate at me a bit. When I saw him before a subsequent game I specifically informed him of such. He was gracious and said they didn't lose because of that! When reffing in rec leagues I try to avoid these issues by reviewing the specific rules with the coaches before games (3 point line in use?, man to man vs zones, pressing, substitutions, etc. - ya know league specific stuff), but I missed this for some reason. But to call or email - NOT ME!
