Very ecumenical.

Yes, this will be a test of character, yours... If you can put up with the whining and stare-downs on what some players think should have been a foul, then you have passed the hardest part of the test (do I want to officiate) and will have a 'real' game well in hand.

I have to disagree with the idea that there's something he can learn about himself that's important to officiating. A person can love officiating and absolutely hate men's rec leagues; that describes many people, actually.

Fact is, I don't "put up" with the whining and stare downs. I address it quickly and sternly. One warning, if you want, followed by a T the next time he does it (and he will) usually takes care of it. If not, a 2nd T will take care of it.

I'm working some church men's games tomorrow night. I'm hitting the gym today to work my "T" muscles. I don't want to pull something during the game.

BITS - Words of caution:

After the holidays many folks go to the gym as part of their "New Years Resolution" and overdo it. Recommend you start with light weights as you don't want to "pull a muscle in preparing for a game you don't want to pull a muscle."
