There's agony, and then there's officiating a middle school girls game that(m)
has at least 20 jumpballs and goes into overtime.
TURRIBLE, just TURRIBLE. Although, I still love it. |
I've felt your pain - just hafta smile!:)

You'll Jump at This!
Started out in '76 while in college, doing grade school games with that many jump balls each game. That was back when a jump ball was really a jump ball.
Shucks, we spent more time lining players up properly around the jump circles than we did making calls! 1-3/4 hour games were not all that uncommon. I'm glad those days are over! Anyone else remember that era? Post Scriptum: Reimbursement rate was $5 per game, no matter how long each took. 3 games Friday nite, 2 Saturday morning, 3 Saturday night, 2 Sunday afternoon. $50.00 for a weekend of work was pretty big money for a college student back then. Of course, that's when tap beers were a quarter. |

All my games have just one jumpball ;)... unless I cause it to go to overtime.

:D yeah i feel your agony...last night i had a JV girls game that looked like a middle school girls game... the score was 22-2 at halftime :o
all i did was smile |
Definitely Feel Your Pain....
I remember a game last yr (G7th grade) in which my partner and I seemed to TWEET every five or six seconds. The game had absolutely NO flow (only good part was we get $50/game at that venue). I had a headache at halftime!! ARGH!! :(
I will say though, about a month later I went back there for another game (dreading it of course) and they had improved greatly (thank goodness) and it really wasn't that bad. |
one day there will be a story about a ref hanging himself with their own whistle during a middle school girls game that goes into 4 ots.
"real jump balls"- made me shutter reading that. |

Had a middle school much as originator stated...bazillion jump balls/turn overs/fouls. Tied with 10 seconds left, team A inbounds - pass pass, shot! (clank) tweet!!! Foul! (WTG partner!! No OT!!)
Clank. Clank. OT. OT. OT. Total between both teams of 9 points scored in 3 OT periods... |

NO Joke
I tossed a grandmother out of a 8th grade girls game a few year back. She would not stop mouthing off. It is still lore around the area.

I had a boys' JV game that went four overtimes and I loved every minute of it. If you are lazy, get a different job. If you think this is still funny, you are wrong. |
