Summer league canceled - boo hoo

[NYBLUE]

The summer league I was planning on working has opted to use a volunteer (non-certified ref) alongside one certified official in every game. Hence, the opportunites have been cut in half.

For me, they would be cut entirely. Who would want that grief?

Unless the other "ref" was someone who was willing to learn & also represents the craft well. Other than THAT, point taken

All of my partners in my Rec Leagues, summer and otherwise, are "unpatched." Having one who is willing to listen, learn, and run the court is a welcome blessing.

Unfortunately, in these kinds of situations my eyes tend to wander as I try to cover/am expected to cover, too much of the court......and that gets me into trouble developing bad habits for the regular season......(watch your primary and trust your partner).

Yes, Rich - point taken. Grief? You betcha!

Wow, the summer stuff around here may be lower pay, but at least I'm working with patched partners.

You mean like these guys? I see at least one of them has a whistle in her mouth.
