wow...just wow. thanks for sharing that. some colleagues and i were talking just this last weekend how much the sportsmanship levels have changed since we played. (70's and 80's)

i'm relatively new to ref'ng (3rd year), and have been appalled at the things that have said to me by fans. just this last weekend i had a jv game for a AA school (the largest school size in my state), and one of the kids was cubic...5' 8 or so, and 300 pounds...very nice kid. i called him for two fouls. as i was leaving the venue he and his mom were standing there, and as i passed by his mother said,"i don't know why the refs pick on the big kids."

/also, i love the term "jack-wagon"

Had a coach complain to me on Sunday that there is "no way" his kid could have fouled B1. "For God's sake - he (B1) outweighs Johnny by at least 140 pounds!"

nice.....i'm getting to the point where i am able to do this. i used to think that long-winded explanations would help a volatile situation. the learning curve is finally starting to make sense.

Was working a game few weeks ago...I make an easy out of bounds call. Player stepped on the line, no big deal. As I trot down court, a fan yells..."23 YOU'RE NOT WORTH THE HAIR YOU STILL GOT!" I was the only #23 still on court and I'm getting a shiny spot. I thought it was hilarious, but got me to thinking, would this guy say something like that to a man on the street he didn't know? Why does he think its ok because I'm wearing a referee jersey? Sad...

Because you're in charge, and you're getting in the way of his team's victory. The nerve of you.

You're in good company. On the road, fans used to yell this at Michael Jordan.

I had a coach tell me I had to give a warning before I tossed his player out of the game. I was really confused because I thought my partners warning the palyer in the first half and my issuing the player his first T in the middle of the 2nd half was really warning enough that the player should stop the c__P. I thought wrong!

Funny the rules we learn from coaches. They must get a different book than we do.
