Rate my partner

[Marty Rogers]

Tony I bet the only one that really recognized this was Mark. I bet not a single coach said a word and if they did was it any different than when you actually get the rules right. I have see coaches all the time complain, and they do not even know the actual rule. They still thought I was horrible and I nailed the rule. But then again I can say this until I am blue in the face and you will still disagree. I guess life will move on.


JR: As Mark P. stated, often the coaches don't know the ref is getting the call wrong. And he often screams and
yells when you make the CORRECT call. But so what? That
has nothing to do with one's integrity as a referee.
Just because coaches complain either way, we thus can do a lousy job??? And, if Mark was the ONLY one to notice these mistakes, he is the only one who mattered anyway (except for the kids who got cheated). HE had to work with her. HE had to try to ref a game fairly with an incompetent partner. Knowing these basic calls (and they all are, except maybe the last one) is essential. One with this lack of knowledge and instinct needs to shape up, or ship out. (After 5 years) IMO
