Should I stay or should I go

[Karin]

My advice?Take some time off-basketball should be a fun part of your life.Reffing is at times fun and frustrating but if you find there is more frustration than fun take some time off and come back fresh.
Often I tell officials I train to take a break and yeah it is tough to roster(at times) without them but I find the holistic approach is best-refs come back fresher and with more enthusiasm if they are not burnt out.
Today an official came back to junior ball because I left him alone to be a teenager and focus on other aspects of his life and he came back to help beginner officials and enjoyed offering his knowledge to young ones.He said he felt that he was pushed to do more and more previously and that he 'owed" his trainers-better he took a break and came back on his own terms.
