Experienced but unambitious...

Ok, maybe I take it a little TOO seriously.

I realize not everyone is going to take every game they can get, from varsity boys to 7th grade girls. Not everyone is going to spend hours of their life in front of the mirror refining the intricacies of their "full time out" mechanic. Not everyone considers the referee clinics they go to every year the highlight of the summer. Not everyone is as crazy as us, right?

But, I will never understand the guy who strolls into the dressing room 10 minutes before the game starts, walks out on the floor wearing a black fleece pullover with his college logo on it, and spends the entire night ambling up and down the court like it's a leisure walk in the woods - only to go on about how many years of experience he has and how much he loves officiating.

I can handle the new guy just stumbling his way through year one. But if you've been at it for twice as long as I have, I should not be coaching you on positioning and management... goodness gracious.

OK, now that I've got that off my chest, I can put this game behind me and sleep a little better tonight.
