bad news about injured player

[grunewar]

Don't make a hasty decision based on one or two incidents and the emotion of the moment.

If you still enjoy the game and add value - stick it out. All sports need good officials.

I had a B12 player break his wrist in a game I officiated last yr. It was an awkward foul that occurred in a heap along a sideline. I had the foul.....but so what. I knew it was bad when it happened.

Next week the boy was out practicing with his team and on the bench watching and cheering them on (obviously he couldn't play because of the cast). Great kid, super parents. Turns out he broke the same wrist a few yrs back during football. It happens. Let it go.

Be an official if you want to be an official. If you're heart is truly not in it, don't.
