I second what everyone else has said, but I’ll add that you have to acknowledge and accept the fact that, as a player, no matter how good of an official you are, you are biased.

You’re looking at the situation completely differently than you would if you are officiating the game. There’s no way of getting around that. Does that make the officials at the game you talked about perfect? No, but it does mean that you’re not exactly an objective party in judging the situation.

You are looking at this through the eyes of a player. And we all know that players NEVER foul, but they ALWAYS get fouled. Your case may not be that extreme, but the principle still applies.

Oh, and remember...it’s just wreck ball.

And in addition to the above, get your story straight !!

You say in your 1st post that "they werent calling much of anything", then in another "they were calling fouls every 5 seconds".

Sounds "like player perception" to me......

haha...true. I wasn't paying much attention when I typed it. I meant they weren't calling much of anything our way. I think I'm going to stop playing in this league anyway if everyone is going to run up to me and complain about officials, I mean geez...I'm not even a Varsity Regular yet.

In SoCal, if you're under 25, you go straight from HS JV to D1...your career is on track.

It's one of those infamous inside jokes.

Wow that's a fast progression! Out of curiosity, how old were you when you started working HS varsity games?
