Rec League...Padgett won't be happy with me

Just got back from three rec league games I worked with my dad (really cool to ref with my dad). 6th grade boys games

You'd think it's the NCAA Tournament with the intensity of these games. I mean coaches yelling and screaming, parents yelling and screaming, even some jawing between the clock operator and the bleachers.

During the first game, a coach nearly pulled his best Bob Knight impression. He was unhappy about something and he picked up a chair and was about to throw it. I had to chuckle because all of these teams were named after Big Ten schools, and he was Purdue.

During the second game I had a kid who has watched too much LeBron James, and kept traveling on his way to the basket. His coach, his father also, loudly disagreed with me.

The third game went into not one but two extra periods. A kid hit a desperation three to tie the game as time expired in the first overtime.

Whew...what a day.

Phew! Thought you might have violated the first rule of officiating.

Nope. Something more basic than that. But, you have been warned.

My guess is that Padgett has cooked up some popcorn and has pulled up a chair.

You wish it was the no overtime rule.

chseagle: Great. Now you've done it. We now have two posters asking about Mark Padgett's first rule of basketball. Now I have to advise you, also, to delete your post. As soon as possible, before Mark Padgett logs on to the Forum. Hopefully he's watching the football game, so we may have a few hours. On the other hand, he may log on during halftime. So, do it now. Right now.

1st. Rule Likely Forthcoming, but...

Don't get too excited about it. It's nothing to whet your whistle over.
