It would be interesting to see what all of your total net income is after expenses and travel costs. I haven't finished my total out of pocket yet but it will be around $1000 expense mostly for travel and dues. Did not buy much new equipment this year, oh - and 6 tubes of icy hot - one new ace bandage - 6 bottles of Advil - a new hot water bottle - new cold water bottle - one knee support (stole from my son) - 2 bottles of hair gel - 2 tubes of Old Spice antiperspirant - 1 pair of heel supports - 1 bottle of Febreeze - 2 bottles of shampoo - 6 bars of soap - 6 boxes of granola bars - 6 boxes of Smucker's Uncrustables peanut butter jelly sandwiches - 3 tubes of Chap-Aid lipbalm - 2 bottles of prescription pain meds - 6 B12 shots - one large container of chocolate protein mix - 1 case of rice milk - 6 bottles of hand sanitizers - 2 new terry cloth white towels - package of band aids - 1 box of alchohol swipes - 2 pairs of soft gel ear plugs - 1 new Dunkin Donuts coffee travel mug - and a bunch of lunches at Subway....

Interesting facts:

Looking forward to my first college camp this summer.
One technical, to a coach, pretty sure I am at the top of his hate list now.
One technical, to a player for slamming the ball 30 feet in the air after a foul. I was told I was supposed to ignore that b/c he was mad at himself not at me.
For the first time in ten seasons I threw a fan out. It was pretty funny.
Number of fans eardrums I blew out hitting my whistle to throw her out- 1.
I have used the same whistle every game for five years now. Yea Fox40.
No, my lard butt didn't rip the pants. The seam came undone. No one noticed. Whew.

They all called themselves this season. Early in the season I had a girl from a small college complaining on the floor, I had a captain talk to her, they ended up taking her out of the game, On the next whistle, which was an easy call, the girl in question threw her arms at us, complained, started biting the neckline of her jersey, turned sideways with her feet on the chair next to her in a pseudo-fetal position, and threw another hand at us. All this and she was somewhat suprised when I assessed the technical she deserved. The rest of the game was pretty quiet.

I know. But how else is he ever going to get to that 7.5% threshold to allow medical expenses to be deductible?

My fault. He asked a legitimate question and I failed to give him an answer.

Season ended tonight with a semi final GV in district play. Just wanted to thank all the posters on this forum because I really feel reading this has made me a better official. I don't post often but I read it daily. I find it educational and funny. Just wish I knew more of the inside jokes.
I recommend this site to many officials I work with each year. Thanks again.
