I did that enough last year, including during a very physical freshman game that nearly had me tossing the visiting head coach. I really hope to not have to do that anymore but as the saying goes...wish in one hand...

I see both sides of this.

As an official, I wouldn't want to work by myself and not see something extra.

As a team, why should I pay the normal going rate and only have 1 official? That's the assignor's problem, not mine.

Luckily, in WI we can't start a game with less than 2 officials by state policy. And I don't work rec ball.
