Shut the xxx up!

[Rita C]

That was on my mind tonight.

After halftime, a varsity official was there to observe the two JV officials, of which I am one. He sat on one end of the court where there were no fans. Every time one of us was down there, he would be talking to us. One time I'm counting the inbounding ball after a basket and I can hear him saying, "It's taking too long." Then we are in the last 35 seconds of the third quarter, I've signalled to my partners that I have clock and I hear him saying, "Rita, you've got clock."

No XXXX.

He had valuable tips for both of us but I feel that it could all have waited till after the game. (He repeated it when we got there.)

So I watched the varsity game. Our association asks us to do so and bring feedback at halftime. I did. Just one thing. He didn't like it.

It was interesting.
