Summer Ball - all this fun and I get paid too?

[Jurassic Referee]

Every official sets their own personal limits as to what they will take and let go. As with everything else we do, the key is to be consistent. If the players and coaches know what they can do or not do during a game, they have no valid complaints at all if they get nailed for crossing an official's line. It's up to the coaches and player to adjust to the individual official's standards when it comes to sportsmanship-related situations, not vice-versa.

And there's different ways to control a game also while getting the same result. If the journey ends well, who cares how you got there. I was always on the hard-azz side of the spectrum but if someone at the other end still had the game under control and being played fairly with minimal displays of boolsh!t, who can say for sure that my way was really better?
